We are excited to bring on this new Indonesian coffee for the month of August! It has already become a staff favorite and we know you will just love it too! Predominantly tasting of fresh strawberry and green tea leaves, this coffee still retains a touch of the tobacco flavor Indonesia is known for. Come on in to the shop to try it on drip, or order a bag today!
A little about the coffee:
Mt. Ijen, Indonesia is a mountain located in East Java, around 3.5 hours’ drive from Bali. It is a somewhat active volcano in East Java province, Indonesia, but it is significantly bigger than Mt. Argopuro, because it is comprised of many smaller mountains surrounding it. A popular tourist destination is its crater which has the world's biggest acid lake, bright turquoise in colour, that burns with a blue fire from the sulphur in the water. The coffee farmers that live on these two mountains usually also farm and sell tobacco and other commodities when the coffee season is over. In terms of climate, the eastern part of East Java province is very dry tropical savannah.
