Three English names' Ce1ebes', 'Toraja' and' Kalossi' often appear on the sacks of "Sulawesi" coffee. Celebes' is the old name of the island under Dutch rule, "Celebes Island", which has long been changed to Sulawesi. "Toraja' is interesting. It is neither place name, city name, nor variety name, but Toraja, an ethnic group good at growing coffee in the central mountains of Sulawesi. It is also the name of the island's fine beans, and the above-mentioned Mantening, Bhatta and Cayo ethnic groups belong to coffee-proficient ethnic groups. Kalossi' refers to Kalosi, a small town in the middle of the island, which is a central trading place for Toraja coffee.

Toraja is also a rare boutique bean in the world, with an annual output of about 1000 tons, distributed on the rugged slopes of about 1200 meters in the middle and southwest of Sulawesi. It is not easy to plant and harvest, with an average annual yield of only 300kg per hectare. Far lower than the average of more than 1000 kg in Central and South America. The three largest estates in Toraja are:'PT Kapal Api' has 2000 hectares of coffee farms; 'CSR' ranks second with 1100 hectares of coffee fields; and Japan's' Key Coffee' 'Toarcojaya' is the third largest with 700 hectares of coffee farms. In other words, Toraja is rarer than Manning or Huang Kingman.

Toraja is washed or semi-washed, with brighter sour aromas and more obvious layers than Mantenin or Huang Kingman in Sumatra, with a strong sweet aroma of caramel, but Tusao, sinking and mellow are much thicker and slightly floral. The signature coffee civet of Billie Industries in Taiwan is from Sulawesi. The person in charge, the Huang Chongqing family, has a deep relationship with the Indonesian coffee farm, and can get rare "Lao Cong" coffee. The beans are a bit like Yemeni mocha round beans, but not like Sumatra's fatter Tibica. Although the granules of this strange bean are small but hard, it is baked later than Mantenin, with a stronger aroma of flowers and fruit than Toraja, full of acidity and sweetness, unlike Indonesian beans, but more like African boutique beans. But this kind of bean is not available every year, because European coffee merchants often buy it at high prices, so these boutique beans are very popular.

Sulawesi Sulawesi:

Formerly known as Celebes, Sulawesi is one of the oldest islands in the archipelago, exposing rocks for more than a million years. Soils like yellowish-red ash are found in coffee-producing areas. These soils often have several layers of clay beneath the surface, which are rich in iron. The most famous producing area is in the high mountains of Toraja, which is located in South Sulawesi.

Kalosi, to the south of Tonaga, is the main metropolis of the region, and there are two less well-known areas: Gowa, west of Mamasa and south of Kalosi. A small number of particularly interesting coffee beans are washed with water, which is worth thinking about, and it is highly recommended to try it when you have the opportunity. Semi-washing treatment is a common method in Sulawesi, and the local area also produces a lot of Rob beans. The name of this place is also most commonly used as the representative of Sulawesi Coffee, known for its full consistency, rich flavor and low and lively acidity.

Most Arabica beans are grown high around Tana Toraja, while Kalosi in the south becomes a brand.

* Kalosi: the market name for coffee from southwestern Sulawesi, a small town in the middle of the island, is a central trading place for Toraja (Taroga) coffee beans.

* Toraja: a growing area in the highlands of southeastern Sulawesi and the name of the island's boutique beans. Toraja is not a place name, a city name, nor a variety name, but the Toraga, an ethnic group that lives in the mountains of central Suvira and is good at growing coffee. Tonaga is also a rare boutique bean in the world, with an annual output of about 1000 metric tons, distributed on the rugged slopes of about 1200 meters in central and southwest Sulawesi. It is not easy to plant and harvest, with an average annual yield of only 300kg per hectare, far lower than the average of more than 1000 kg in Central and South America.

The three major estates in Tonaga are: "PT Kapal Api" has 2000 hectares of coffee; "CSR" ranks second with 1100 hectares of coffee; and "Toarco Jaya" of Japan's "Key Coffee" is the third largest with 700 hectares of coffee. In other words, Toraja Tona Gaby manning or gold manning are more precious and rarer.

Toraja is washed or semi-washed, with brighter acidity and more layering than Sumatra's or Gold's. There is a strong caramel sweetness, but Tusao, sunwood and mellow thickness are much more convergent than Mantenin, with a slightly floral flavor
