About Honey Coffee

Bali, Gayo, and Java are renowned Indonesian coffee regions, each producing distinctive honey-processed Arabica coffees.

Bali: Grown in the Kintamani Highlands, Balinese honey coffees are processed using the honey method, where the mucilage is left on the beans during drying.

This results in a cup profile characterized by bright acidity, floral notes, and a smooth body. The volcanic soil and high altitude contribute to the coffee’s unique flavor profile.

Gayo (Aceh): Situated in the highlands of Aceh, Gayo coffee is processed using the wet-hulling method, known locally as “giling basah.”

This process imparts a distinctive earthy and spicy flavor to the coffee. The region’s high altitude and fertile soil enhance the coffee’s complex flavor profile.

Java: Java’s coffee, particularly from regions like Taman Dadar, is processed using traditional methods, including sun drying. This results in a coffee with a harmonious combination of flavors, including smoothness, balanced acidity, and a touch of distinctive sweetness.

The altitude and climatic conditions in some areas of Java favor the growth of specialty coffee varieties, contributing to the coffee’s unique flavor characteristics.
