Get the taste of  Blue Flores - a rare Arabica specialty coffee, Indonesia's premium quality

Indonesia Flores

Indonesia Flores is a premium specialty coffee which is found amongst the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia. The island of Flores (Flower) is 360 miles long and is located about 200 miles east of Bali. “Blue” Flores is the rare Arabica specialty coffee, grown at 1,200 to 1,800 meters on hillsides by small holding farmers of Bhajawa ethnicity living near the active and inactive volcanoes where ashes from these volcanoes create the fertile soil for organic coffee production. Supports from the government under the ICCRI research program along side with private exporters backups have enable these farmers to yield to the standard of the Specialty Coffee Association of America.

Blue Flores Coffee is different than traditional Sumatran wet-hulled processing, by applying a full wash and ferment. The farmers selectively hand pick only red cherries, pulp, ferment 24-36 hours, wash, dry (35%), wet hull, and sun-dry (13%) where the final sorting takes place once it is dried. This method paves the way for coffee from Flores to be known for its sweet chocolaty, floral and woody notes that is highly sought after by buyers from the world over.
