flavor notes: vanilla, toasted hazelnut, raspberry liqueur
process: This exceptional coffee is grown in the foothills of Mount Argopuro in the Situbondo Regency of the East Java Province of Java Island. The villagers who grow the coffee come from Tlogosari Village, and together form the Pokmas Walida Cooperative led by Pak Muhlisin. The cooperative partners with exporter, Belift Green Beans, to bring high-quality, transparent coffees like this one to new markets. The coffee is naturally processed due to limited water availability in the region and the absence of government-supported irrigation infrastructure. Cherries are selectively harvested, sorted by flotation, and sun-dried on raised beds before being hulled, density-sorted, and packed for export. This coffee was dried on raised beds for 15-16 days and stirred once every hour before being patio dried for an additional 8-10 days.
impact: Most coffee farmers in Indonesia grow a very small amount of coffee alongside crops like tomatoes, chili peppers, and ginger. The combined remoteness of their farms and fragmented production system have made it very difficult to trace Indonesian coffee. The team at Belift, however, are working directly with the farming communities in Argopuro and Bondowoso and are hands-on with every step of production, from seed to processing to export.
