Our coffees are imported from countries all over the world.

We take pride in sample roasting a variety of beans to find only our favorites to feature for you. Once we choose which beans to purchase in bulk, we work hard to determine the roast profile that will optimize the natural flavor characteristics of the bean. Similar to grapes, every coffee plant is impacted by its topography, climate and even method of harvest.

INDONESIAN BALI BLUE MOON


Bali Blue Moon is named after the hallmark bluish hue of the bean produced from the wet-hulling process called Giling Basah in the Indonesian language. The bulk of Bali’s coffee production comes from small family-owned farms where each producer uses a few acres to cultivate coffee along with citrus trees in the volcanic soils of Mount Agung’s Kintamani highlands. They carefully sort their harvested cherries before depulping and fermenting overnight with their own micro-mills. Then the coffee is washed and laid out on patios to shed the excess water from the coffee parchment. Next the coffee takes a detour from the conventional path of processing in other origins, wherein, the coffee parchment is removed while the coffee still has a high moisture content. This wet-hulling process or Giling Basah leaves the coffee bean exposed while drying on patios to a moisture percentage acceptable for export and gives the beans their distinct bluish color.

This coffee is from a small group of members from the Ketiara cooperative in the Aceh region of Sumatra in Indonesia. Each member produces roughly 22 60-kilo bags of green coffee. Many of these producers are women who unfortunately lost their husbands and family members during the 2003 civil war. Coffee production is a means of consistent support and work for their families. In addition to coffee, they also produce fruits, vegetables, herbs, and honey.
