Description

Ganung Patuha is a mountain on the western side of the island, where most Java coffee is grown. 33 farmers in the region contributed to this coffee. They have a symbiotic relationship with Rancabali, a conservation center for animals. This is a fully washed coffee which makes it taste much cleaner than most Indonesian beans. Most Indonesian coffees are wet-hulled (semi-washed), which is what tends to make them taste so earthy. It has been sorted nicely to a Grade 1 classification. In a medium roast, it's nice with spice notes and leather and slight earthiness. Just at 2nd cracks you have medium body, sweet, smooth, a little chocolate, black pepper, smokiness -- reminds me of an Indian coffee. The darker roasts are smoky and charcoal which isn't inherently a bad thing. It does hold up to this level if you're looking for a roasty coffee with a little spice and chocolate notes. I have found most coffee grown in Java to be mass produced on government owned estates, which does control the quality and production, but often results in boring and simple coffees. But this one being a microlot is quite enjoyable and flavorful. I highly recommend it if you enjoy medium coffee. US Arrival October 2026
