Description

The coffee capital of Indonesia is known as the Kintamani highlands, and it’s located on Mount Agung’s giant volcanic plateau, nearly 1,700 meters above sea level. This wet-hulled bean is grown in mineral-rich soil among citrus trees––Erythrina, Albizia, tangerine, and orange––which provide an adequate amount of shade to keep the coffee plants healthy. Laws prohibit pesticide usage in Bali, so all fertilizers are 100% organic.

Coffee production in Bali is currently overseen by the Subak Abian, a traditional farming cooperative that manages agriculture, technology, and even religious practices. Due to the SA’s influence, coffee-growing stages have drastically improved, and Bali’s economy has a fantastic standing.

Cupping notes: High sweetness and brightness, solid body, with notes of apricot, blackberry, kiwi, and strawberry.

Probably my favorite so far. Roasted to a medium dark. Excellent balance, very fruity. Would also be good at a straight medium, I bet.

For lovers an unusual "fruit forward" taste. There is something intensely pleasing to the darker roasts.

This wet hulled Bali Kintamani is one of those rare coffees that can tolerate a darker roast, while still maintaining a lot of sweetness. At a full city or full city+ roast, you’ll taste chocolate covered cherry - more so than any other coffee I’ve tried. Im glad I picked up a few pounds. This also is a difficult coffee to find. Buy some and you’ll be pleased.

Delightful flavor rich cup after 3 days rest. Definitely a good coffee! Roasted it medium dark but like the previous reviewer said, it can quickly get away from you. The reason I found is because my first crack seems to never end but I knew I had to end the roast based on temperature which quickly shot up to 454F momentarily then I quickly pulled. So I was surprised this roast was so good. Very forgiving bean.

I am struggling to contribute another review for this Variety: Bourbon, (S795 & USDA 762) Typica, and Catimor aka Bali Organic Kintamani Natural because of two primary motivations. #1 I understand the origin and science that define what best practices are used at several of the plantations that have cultivated this fabulous blend into many different distinct varieties with similar parentage. #2 I believe this will continue to grow in popularity and will merge with a global supply and demand imbalance . Arabica-coffee futures in New York alone have risen about 24% while Coffee stockpiles have sunk to a six-year low in the U.S. I anticipate building an additional inventory surplus of coffee especially the strains from Indonesia given the market conditions. This coffee in my opinion and customers opinion has climbed up to number 1. I with I saw this coming and bought more. I hope this helps shed light on why I am sharing with you my thoughts on this.

I have roasted coffee professionally and at home for several years now and I have never found anything that comes close to this coffee bean. Either first or second crack profiles result in something for everyone. You just can't go wrong with beans from the Kintamani highlands period. These beans are also consistent in that they showed a higher content of total antioxidant phenolic content. It is most apparent that this is grown in a organic environment and washed with high altitude water that is ph balanced that leaves no residues like so many growers deal with in other areas of the world. I recommend this if the attributes posted are to your liking.

After my first roast, I’m very sad that this is currently out of stock. I hope they get more soon, because this coffee is phenomenal! I roasted it with a Whirley-Pop on an electric stove at approximately 2.75 out of 10 heat setting. Stoves will vary, however. Disclaimer, I don’t measure temp, I do get very consistent results with my method, which is to preheat the popper, I roast about 1/3 if a Lb at a time, and I gradually crank faster as the roast progresses, especially once first crack starts. It seems like that prevents scorching. I roasted this at a light-medium, and it is so satisfying. It is my favorite reasonably priced Island coffee. ($6.75 for a pound!!) I definitely notice the fruity notes, but especially a chocolatey, kind of caramel-toffee taste. Once this is in stock, I’m getting 3 Lbs. Extremely highly recommended for people who adore Naturally processed coffees.

This is a clean-tasting washed coffee with good body. There are no greatly distinguishing features to its flavor, which is great if you’re wanting coffee that tastes like the general idea of what coffee should taste like; it does that exceptionally. It works well as a medium roast. If it seems like I’m mincing words, it’s because I prefer honey- or natural process. For those who like a washed coffee, this truly is a great option.
