Sun treatment Karana Kintamani Volcano Ubu treatment Plant in Bali, Indonesia

The most famous coffee producers in Asia are the islands of Malaysia: Sumatra, Java and Kaliman. Sumatra Manning coffee from the Indonesian island of Sumatra is the most famous.

In the traditional culture of Bali, coffee is used as a cheap beverage raw material. The flavor and quality of the region have been unstable or depressed, and most of them have become cheap commercial beans. Rodney and his partners decided to change the local people's stereotype of coffee. They chose Wubu Market, the cultural center of Bali, and opened the only boutique cafe on the island. Rodney and two other partners themselves have also obtained the international general coffee Q certification to check the quality of their own coffee, and it is also the only local cafe with this certification. The cafe has two bean dryers from 1kg and 4kg, and all the coffee in the shop comes from high-quality raw beans from the local or nearby producing areas (for example, Java, Sulawesi, New Guinea, Florus) and so on.

The success of the cafe has given them more motivation to pursue high-quality coffee sources. a few years ago, local coffee beans in Bali were processed by farmers in the Kintamani mountainous areas. however, regardless of weather factors, berry quality, post-production environment and other factors, it is always difficult for them to master the quality of raw beans in the past year.

Since 2015, Rodney has decided to build its own processing plant next to its vestibule and cafe. When the harvest season came last year, they went to the Jintamani area at an altitude of 1400 meters to buy high-quality coffee berries, and then carried them to the stable Wubu district of Tianhou 800m for post-processing.

This year, Rodney successfully experimented with three different batches, including water washing, honey treatment, sun treatment, and three different methods. The flavor greatly exceeds the general batches of origin, and the overall defect rate and uniformity are even better than those of fine beans in Central America. Water washing and honey treatment have bright and complex acidity, and the sun treatment batches are much better than those of Panama Manor. There are more ripe peaches, pineapples, mangoes and other tropical fruits, fruit wine aromas and finish.

Flavor description: raw beans exude strong cantaloupe and tropical fruit aromas; the entrance flavor changes to the sweetness of pineapple and strawberry jam, showing smooth and rich acidity at medium and low temperatures, with aromas of handmade black sugar, exquisite dark chocolate and hazelnut; the overall flavor is excellent, like syrup-like texture and sweet taste, the ripe fruit flavor of the sun even surpasses many well-known Central American estates.
