Indonesia Flores Tuang [new!]

From Mick Hill | Head coffee buyer,

” I tasted this coffee a year or so ago and found it to be truly unique. It has the typical Indonesian syrupy body but, being a fully washed coffee, exhibits some floral tones with pronounced sweetness. It’s produced using an anaerobic process which imparts more fruitiness due to the cherries being starved of oxygen as the fruit ferments. Some might say this is kind of a funky flavor but it makes for a unique cup. I’ve tried this in a French Press and a Moka pot and both are amazing. It’s a very labor intensive process so the coffee is a little more expensive but it’s worth it. Give it a try. We made this available as a taster in a 6oz offering – that gives you approx 4 x 32oz French Presses..plenty of coffee to savor! ”

Flores Island is located 200 miles to the eat of Bali and is 360 miles long. Its terrain is rugged with numerous active and inactive volcanoes. These volcanic ashes have created especially fertile soils, ideal for organic coffee production. Most of the production is under shade trees on hillsides and plateaus and provides a living for many small holder farmers.
