King of Indonesia | what are the flavor characteristics of the fully washed "reborn Kebangkitan" variety of Sulawesi in Sulawesi?

Celebes/ 's island of Sulawesi (Celebes/ 's island of Celebes) is a large island in eastern Indonesia. The main producing areas are Mamasa, Tana Toraja, Gowa and Sinjal and Enrekang, among which Toraja is widely known. Among them, the coffee beans from the high-altitude Toraja (Tonaga) producing area of Sulawesi Island are not as famous as other Indonesian beans because their output is lower than that of Sumatra and Java, and it has long been searched by the Japanese, but it has a noble flavor that other Indonesian producing areas do not have, so it is known as the aristocracy of Indonesian coffee. The coffee beans in Tonaga are full-bodied, unique fruit aroma and deep sweet flavor. they are more stable than ordinary Indonesian beans and can even compete with the best gold mantenin in Sumatra.

And because of the fertile volcanic weak acid soil with high iron content, it creates a unique "Toraja" coffee flavor. "Toraja" generally refers to high-quality Arabica coffee beans from central Sulawesi. "Toraja" is not a place name, a city name, nor a variety name, but a tribal name that is good at growing coffee in the mountains of central Suviras. it is also a synonym for fine coffee on the island. "Kalossi" is a small town in the middle of the island, and it is a concentrated trading place for Toraja coffee beans. Because of its small quantity, high quality and stable quality, it has been regarded as a special area for the production of high-quality coffee since Dutch times.

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.

Compared with other Indonesian islands, 95% of the coffee trees on Sulawesi are Arabica, and the well-made coffee has the smell of grapefruit, berries, nuts and spices. On the other hand, it tastes fragrant and delicious, low acidity and thick. Sulawesi coffee production accounts for about 2% of Indonesia, and the varieties are old typeica, S795 and Jember-related varieties.

Wet planing is a traditional post-processing method, which will make raw coffee beans show the unique dark green of traditional Indonesian beans. However, many producers have switched to the Central American washing method, which helps to increase production and quality.
