Light green unroasted raw Toraja coffee beans with round and plump grains

Every bucket of Toraja coffee beans has a birth number.

Most coffee beans are half lentils (left), while Tonaga beans are full (right).

This bucket of 1.5kg Indonesian Toraja coffee beans is worth 2000 Hong Kong dollars.

Producing areas:

The Tonaga (Tana Toraja) mountain area of southwest Sulawi (South Sulawesi), 1700 meters above sea level, is an alpine volcanic terrain with sufficient sunlight, a large temperature difference between day and night, and a normal temperature of 24 ℃ ~ 25 ℃. High-quality Arabica beans are grown because of the volcanic weakly acidic soil in the fertile tropical highlands.

The appearance of Toraja coffee beans is very similar to that of Mantenin coffee in Sumatra (Sumatra). It is treated by Indonesian traditional natural process / semi-washing method. The best Toraja coffee beans come from Kalosi, with an annual output of only 3000 barrels, each with a code, and each barrel of coffee beans carved by hand. It is the only handicraft in the world and is very expensive.

This coffee is full-bodied and rich, with a low sour taste with fresh earthy flavor and a long throat rhyme, challenging the taste buds of coffee glutton. Therefore, coffee is famous all over the world and has become a gift "tribute" for the Indonesian government to entertain the European Union.
