Description
About Bali Natural Coffee
Bali’s primary coffee-growing region is the Kintamani Highlands, situated on the slopes of Mount Batur, an active volcano at an elevation of 1,300-1,400 meters above sea level. The cool climate, abundant rainfall, and mineral-rich volcanic soil create an ideal terroir.
The coffee is predominantly Arabica, with a significant portion grown organically under shade trees, often intercropped with vegetables like oranges and tomatoes by local smallholders. A key feature of “Bali Natural Coffee” is its processing methods.
Many farmers use the “natural” or dry process, in which cherries are sun-dried with the fruit intact, imparting a distinctive, fruity, winey sweetness to the beans. Some also use a unique local wet-hulling method, resulting in a clean, vibrant cup.
