Qianjie-Sumatra Sulawesi Toraja Coffee introduction

Indonesia is made up of more than 17,000 islands scattered over the volcanic belt of the equator. Indonesia straddles both sides of the equator. The hot and humid rainforest climate is rich in rainfall and the fertile volcanic loam brings rich nutrients. The best growing areas in the whole Indian archipelago are in Java, Sumatra and Sulawesi.

On the whole, Indonesian coffee has a strong flavor, mellow taste, slightly syrup flavor and excellent acidity, and its two main export markets are Germany and Japan, which reflects the excellent quality of the coffee. What attracts consumers is the unique quality of its Arabica coffee beans. Indonesian coffee is very strong, mellow and slightly syrup-flavored, with the disadvantage that it may also be uncomfortable and difficult or slightly moldy, while others are earthy.

Sulawesi Sulawesi: the old name of Sulawesi is 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.

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.

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
