The Tana Toraja means "Land of the Toraja", referring to both the traditional inhabitants and the mountainous highlands of a province in South Sulawesi Indonesia. This famous producing region has long been associated with a patchwork of small farms with plantings between 4,200 and 6,000 feet above sea level. Some of this unique profile from Toraja is a result of a "wet hulled" or semi washed processed that leaves part of the fruit on the heavy outer parchment skin for a time before the parchment is removed while still wet. This gives the beans a darker, blue green color before roasting, and develops a heavier body while damping down the acidity of the coffee. The coffees produced typically display forest associated aromas, specifically notes of fir, cedar and clean earth.
Our Tana Toraja is clean and sweet in the cup with a touch of tart guava. Look first for the aromatic notes of fir and clean, herbal toned earth. As you savor the coffee the syrupy quality of the body comes to the fore, under-laid by the muted, guava tinged acidity. The finish reveals intense bittersweet chocolate notes tinged by the persistent guava presence.
