Indonesia Sulawesi-Toraja Bina lestari Coffee

Indonesia is the largest archipelago country in the world. Arabica tree species coffee was introduced and planted as early as the Dutch rule in the 18th century. The main producing areas are Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi. The deep, low-acidity and rich taste of Mantenin is called "the most important coffee in the world". It is also the fourth largest producer in the world with an annual output of 7 million bags. Coffee is harvested twice a year in May-June and September-October respectively. Sumatra and Aceh have the largest production. The scale of the coffee farm is not about 1 ~ 3 hectares. Mantenin coffee treatment in Indonesia generally adopts semi-washing method. Coffee farmers harvest ripe coffee beans, remove the external peel and pulp but retain the thin film tissue on the coffee beans. After the process of immersion and fermentation, the unsound beans floating on the water surface are removed, while the strong and sunken beans with the surface film can be sunlit or directly to the ground. Finally, a dryer is used to make the moisture content reach a unified standard. The most unique thing is to use parchment to cover coffee beans with film to maintain a moisture content of 18%. Before shipment, the coffee bean surface film is polished and cleaned. The world calls this section of the special treatment method called Indonesian-style semi-washing method, large coffee processing plants can accurately control each treatment process, flavor and taste has a certain level. On the other hand, small coffee farmers treat raw beans in their own yard, and the flavor will vary according to the handling methods and skills of different coffee farmers.

The coffee produced in Sulawesi, Indonesia's third largest island, accounts for only 9% of Indonesia's coffee production every year. Coffee grows in the rainforest at 750-1500 meters above sea level. Most of the high-quality coffee is grown around the Toraja platform in the southwest. Tonaga is located at an altitude of 1500 meters above sea level on the equatorial belt shrouded with rain and clouds in the afternoon, coupled with the fertile volcanic soil, which are the best natural climate and environment for coffee growth. Most Indonesian coffee is sold, sold and exported by local coffee companies. Direct Coffee is introduced to small-scale Binalestari coffee merchants in Sulawesi Tonaga. Coffee is several grades G1 in Arabica. The raw coffee beans show a long rice-shaped color of emerald green, which is different from the yellowish brown of gold Mantenin and Sumatra Manning (compared with photos on the blog), and there are fewer defective beans and unfermented white beans.
