Flores Coffee

About Flores Coffee Beans

Flores Green Coffee is our Arabica offering from the island of Flores in Indonesia, prepared specifically for roasters, importers and distributors who work with green coffee. The beans are grown at altitudes between 1,300 and 1,400 metres and delivered as unroasted green coffee, giving you full control over the final roast profile. Instead of focusing on retail packaging, this product is structured around the specifications and consistency that B2B buyers require.

By positioning Flores within a broader Indonesia portfolio, you can slot this origin into your existing blends or highlight it as a single origin in a way that fits your brand. The aim is to give you a dependable Flores lot with clearly communicated attributes so you can plan production and communicate confidently with your own customers.

Origin and Processing Profile

This coffee comes from Flores, Indonesia, an origin known for its clean yet characterful Arabica profiles. The growing conditions at 1,300–1,400 metres contribute to the balance of sweetness, body and acidity that many buyers look for in a versatile origin. The coffee is processed using a combination of full-washed and wet-hulled methods, a typical approach in parts of Indonesia that influences both clarity and mouthfeel.

For buyers, having these processing details is essential. It allows you to anticipate how the coffee might behave under different roast curves and how it will perform across espresso and filter applications. Knowing that the process includes full-washed and wet-hulled steps helps you align this Flores lot with other Indonesia coffees you already work with.

Flavor, Body and Acidity

Flores Green Coffee is cupped at 85.5 SCA, placing it firmly in the specialty segment when evaluated under standard cupping protocols. In the cup, you can expect a profile centred on nutty and sweet caramel notes with herbal nuances, supported by a balanced body and acidity. The body and acidity are both rated at four on an internal scale, which typically corresponds to a medium to medium-plus intensity.

For espresso, this combination offers a structured base that pairs well with milk without losing definition. For filter or lighter roasts, the sweetness and herbal elements can be highlighted through careful extraction and brewing choices. By working with samples and your own QC, you can refine how these attributes translate into your specific roast profiles and menu positions.

Quality Control and Supply Consistency

This Flores offering is supported by a quality control framework that includes grading, physical inspection and cupping. The SCA score of 85.5 reflects cupping assessments conducted using standard procedures, and the same approach can be extended to each lot and shipment. For B2B buyers, this level of documentation helps align purchase decisions with internal quality standards and customer expectations.

In addition to sensory evaluation, practical considerations such as moisture content, screen uniformity and defect levels should be monitored for each lot. While these values can vary, the goal is to maintain a consistent range that keeps roasting performance stable. When combined with transparent communication about harvest periods and lot availability, this allows you to plan volumes and timelines more effectively.

Built for Roasters, Importers and Café Chains

Flores Green Coffee is not a retail-focused product. It is intended for roasteries, importers, distributors and café chains that need reliable origin coffees to integrate into their roasting and distribution programmes. For roasters, it can serve as a core component in blends or as a single origin in espresso and filter lines. For importers and distributors, it adds a distinctive yet approachable Indonesia origin to their offer list.

The emphasis throughout this product is on clarity and practicality. Instead of relying on generic marketing claims, the page focuses on concrete attributes, clear specifications and ordering information. This makes it easier for buyers to evaluate whether this Flores lot fits their target profiles, roasting capacities and commercial strategies.
