Coffee
WHAT IS COFFEE?
Indonesia offers three of the most sought-after export coffees: Robusta, Arabica, and Specialty Single-Origin Arabica. Each bringing its own character to the cup. Robusta delivers a bold, earthy punch with higher caffeine, perfect for blends and industrial-grade products that need strong flavor and consistency. Arabica offers a cleaner, smoother taste with floral and nutty notes from highland origins like Gayo and Java, ideal for premium cafés and roasters wanting balanced acidity. For the top-tier market, Indonesia’s specialty single-origin Arabica, such as Toraja or Gayo microlots, showcases complex flavors, higher sweetness, and unique terroir profiles, making it a favorite for connoisseurs and speciality buyers seeking traceable, high-value beans.
🌾 Behind the Commodity: How They’re Processed
Ripe cherries are handpicked
Processed using washed, natural, or honey methods (chosen based on flavor goals)
Pulping (for washed/honey) or full-cherry drying (for natural)
Fermentation (only for washed process to break down mucilage)
Washing/cleaning
Sun-dried on patios or raised beds until reaching optimal moisture (10–12%)
Hulling (removing parchment layer)
Sorting and grading by size, density, and defect count
Resting/conditioning to stabilize moisture
Packed in jute bags
Prepared for export (fumigation, QC check, documentation)
Specialty lots receive extra care through selective harvesting, slower drying, and stricter grading to ensure superior quality and traceability.
