BUKIT PANIISAN - INDONESIA - ANAEROBIC HONEY

EXCLUSIVE RELEASE - We're happy to announce we enjoyed this coffee so much that we bought the whole lot and you wont find it anywhere else.

This Anaerobic Honey lot was produced by 200 smallholder farmers living in Indonesia's Rancabali subdistrict who's coffee cherry is processed at Sadayana washing station. Constructed in 2022, Sadayana is connecting farmers in West Java with new resources while diversifying the processing methods available from Indonesia. The precise control over fermentation and drying enhances the complexity and quality of the final product. The washing station also provides important services such as compost and seedling programs, and microfinancing for collectors, supporting 191 farmers.

The coffee varieties Ateng Ijo and Ateng Coklat are grown at altitudes ranging from 1400 to 1700 meters above sea level. These small farms, averaging 0.5 to 1 hectare in size, benefit from the favorable climate and rich soil of the region, contributing to the quality and unique flavor of the coffee.

The coffee cherries are selectively sorted in tanks before processing. This lot is processed using honey anaerobic fermentation in barrels with a one-way valve for 120 hours. After fermentation, the coffee is dried on raised beds for 2-3 days and then on patios for 4-12 days, depending on the weather conditions.
