Its balance of sweetness and subtle acidity creates a dynamic flavor profile perfect for those looking for a layered, nuanced cup. Sourced from the hilly Balegede region, where coffee cultivation dates back to the 1700s, this lot represents centuries of coffee-growing tradition. During harvest, 54 farmers bring their cherries to the wet mill in Tenjolaya Ciwidey, enabling precise drying even in the region’s humid climate—a crucial step for achieving such exceptional quality. While West Java has long been known for its Robusta production, its high elevation now supports outstanding Arabica crops, showcasing the region’s versatility. Best enjoyed as a pour-over on your V60, Kalita, or Chemex, it’s a standout example of Java’s coffee renaissance.
