SULAWESI

Even though seven plantations supply about 5 per cent of Sulawesi's production, local production is dominated by smallholder supply. Most Arabica beans are grown high around Tana Toraja, Kalosi in the south is a brand, and two lesser-known areas are west of Mamasa and south of Kalosi, Gowa. There are a few particularly interesting coffee beans that have been washed, which are worth pondering and are highly recommended to try when you have the opportunity. Semi-washing treatment is a common method in Sulawesi, and local production is also quite a lot of Roast beans.

Harvest: May-November

Breed: S795, Typicas, Ateng

FLORES

Flores is a small island located about 320 km (200 mi) east of Bali, one of the Indonesian archipelagos. As a latecomer to the coffee industry, it has developed a good reputation for growing coffee. In the past, Flores produced coffee that was mostly sold domestically or mixed with other coffees for export, and rarely sold directly under the name "Flores Coffee." There are active and dormant volcanoes on the island, with a mixture of Bajawa volcanoes having a great positive impact on the main cultivation areas. In coffee processing, the semi-wash process is the most common treatment in the region, and some coffee beans are still produced by the full wash process.

Harvest: May-September

Varieties: Typicas, Ateng, Robusta

BALI

Coffee came to Bali relatively late and was originally grown on the Kintamani plateau. Coffee production was greatly affected by the Gunung Agung eruption in 1963, which killed more than 20,000 people and caused extensive damage to eastern Bali. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the government distributed Arabica seedlings to boost coffee production, but this was considered to be of limited effect, as today about 80 percent of the island's production consists of robusta beans. Although tourism provides the largest revenue, agriculture employs the largest number of people on the island, and Japan used to be the largest buyer.

Altitude: 1,250- 1,700 m

Harvest: May-October

Varieties: Typicas, Typica derivatives, Robusta

Indonesia Indonesia

Population: 23,742,400

In Indonesia, coffee beans slowly spread from Java to neighboring islands, reaching Sulawesi first in 1750, before extending to northern Indonesia. After planting began around Lake Toba in 1888, it eventually spread to Lake Tawar in the Gayo region in 1924.

SUMATRA

Sumatra has three main cultivation areas: the northern part of Aceh, the area slightly south around Lake Toba, and the recently emerged islands near Mangkuraja. It may also be traced to smaller areas of Takengon, Bener Mariah in Aceh, Lintong, Sidikalang, Dolok Sanggul and Seribu Dolok around Lake Doba. Coffee beans sold in the area were commonly known as "Sumatra Mantenin," but there is no actual place name for Mantenin, which comes from the ethnic name of the local islanders. Usually there are grades of mantenin, classified as Grade1 or Grade2. The grading method is undoubtedly based on cup testing quality rather than the generally believed raw beans themselves. But I'm still skeptical about recommending Grade1, because it seems to be flooding. It's odd to divide the varieties into batches, so most Sumatra beans are a mix of unknown varieties. Sumatra coffee beans are exported through Medan port, but they stay at the port for too long before export, and the hot and humid climate factors will not be conducive to the quality of coffee beans.

Altitude: Aceh 1100-1300m, Doba Lake 1100-1600m, Mangkuraja1100-1300m

Harvest: September-December

Varieties: Typica (including Bergandal, Sidikalang, Djember), Timtim, Ateng, Onan Gajang

JAVA

In Indonesia, this area inherited Dutch colonial customs and customs, so there are more large coffee plantations. The four main coffee fields, covering 4000 hectares, were formerly government estates. Coffee beans from this region enjoyed a reputation for excellence at the time, although I believe that a large number of formula beans have replaced "Mocha-Java" coffee beans not long ago. Java coffee beans used to be high for a long time, but in the 20th century there has been a significant decline in prices. The planting area covers the vicinity of Ijan volcano in eastern Java and western Java.

Altitude: 900-1800m

Harvest: September-September

Varieties: Typicas, Ateng, USDA
