Indonesia Toraja

Grown in the Toraja region on the beautiful tropical island of Sulawesi in Indonesia, Kalosi Toraja (Bukit Marante) coffee are revered for their intense, rich, and syrupy body, offering a truly unique coffee experience. 

This coffee thrives at altitudes between 1000 and 1400 meters above sea
level, where the climate and geography create ideal conditions for coffee cultivation. The rich volcanic soil of the region, combined with the cool mountain air, enables the coffee cherries to develop slowly, resulting in beans that are dense and packed with flavour. 

This region is not just known for its coffee but also for the rich cultural heritage of the Toraja people, whose traditions have been woven into their coffee production methods. Coffee is more than a crop here; it is a way of life, with coffee trees often grown on small plots around the villagers' homes. Families work together to pick the cherries at peak ripeness, ensuring that only the best fruit is harvested. Coffee cultivation is a communal activity, with every member of the family participating in the processing stages, from washing the beans to drying them under the sun.

The Toraja people’s approach to coffee is deeply connected to their cultural values, which emphasise respect for the land and the preservation of ancestral traditions. Coffee trees are even found growing along the edges of rice paddies, reflecting the harmonious balance between subsistence agriculture and cash crop cultivation. While rice remains the dietary staple, coffee serves as an important source of income for these communities, helping to sustain their way of life while sharing their unique cultural heritage with the world.

Featuring tasting notes of blackcurrant, nectarine & pecan this single origin is a wonderful choice for those who pair their coffee with milk, and enjoy a rich, smooth and sweet coffee.
