From the terraced hillsides of Kintamani, high above the sacred crater lake of Batur on the Indonesian island of Bali, comes a coffee as serene and captivating as the landscape that produces it. Bali Blue — named for the distinctive blue-green hue the beans take on after wet-hulling, a traditional Indonesian processing method, is grown by smallhold farmers who have cultivated these volcanic slopes for generations, often alongside citrus groves and vegetables that lend the soil an extraordinary richness. Certified organic and deeply rooted in community, this is a coffee with a soul as beautiful as its origin.
In the cup, Bali Blue is full-bodied and earthy with a complexity that unfolds slowly and rewards patience. Deep notes of dark chocolate and roasted cedar anchor the experience, while a gentle herbal quality of fresh tobacco leaf and a whisper of clove adds an exotic intrigue that sets it apart from any other origin. A low, soft acidity keeps the cup smooth and approachable, and the finish is long and lingering, with a subtle sweetness of raw cacao and dried fruit that drifts pleasantly into the background. Bold, meditative, and utterly distinctive, Bali Blue is a coffee that transports you with every sip.
