Sulawesi Island is the 11th largest island in the world by area, with a total area of 174600 square kilometers. It is located in eastern Indonesia and the southern Philippines. It has a very special shape, similar to a big K letter. There are four peninsulas in the middle of the island. The middle of the island is a precipitous mountain area, so there is little communication between the four peninsulas, and it is more convenient to connect by sea than by land.

The administrative region of Sulawesi is divided into six provinces: West Sulawesi, North Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, South Sulawesi, Southeast Sulawesi and Gundalo. The largest city is Wangkasek in the southwest, and Manado in the north is also a larger city.

These soils often have several layers of clay beneath the surface, which are rich in iron. The most famous producing area is in the planting area of Toraja in the highlands of southeastern Sulawesi. Kalosi, to the south of Tonaga, is the major metropolis in the region. It is also the most commonly used name of this place as the representative of Sulawesi coffee. It is famous for its full consistency, rich flavor and low acidity.

It is said that more than 300 years ago, in the great navigation era when colonialism prevailed, from the time when the Dutch spilled the first coffee seed on the land of Indonesia, it sprouted and spread its branches and leaves. Indonesia's coffee production has firmly ranked among the top five coffee exporters in the world. Due to the characteristics of many islands in the country, the identification boundary of coffee beans is also known as the island. There are Mantenin in Sumatra, Tonaga in Sulawesi, and even Java coffee named directly after Java.
