Among the archipelago nation of Indonesia lies its hidden jewel, the island of Bali. The eruption of the Volcano Gunung Agung in 1963 caused a delay in the progress of coffee cultivation on Bali. In response to this setback, the government enacted programs in the 1970s and 1980s to help rejuvenate coffee growth. With the promotion of coffee seedlings to local farmers, an island wide coffee growing campaign began.

Today, the growing area for coffee in Bali is an estimated 7,500 hectares. The Kintamani highlands, where most of the coffee is grown, sits atop a large volcanic plateau between 1300-1700 meters in altitude. Coffee tree varieties include a high percentage of Bourbon and Typica, along with shade trees such as Erythrina, Albizia, Tangerine and Orange.

The use of pesticides is prohibited on Bali and all fertilizers are 100% organic.

This jewel among coffees stands out with smooth body and overwhelming chocolate flavors
