Indonesia Java Halu Black Honey

About This Coffee

This coffee is a black honey process from Java Halu farm in West Java, Indonesia. Grown at 1400-1600 meters above sea level on the mountains of Tilu and Gunuug Halu, the farm is operated by entrepreneur Rani Mayasari and employs over 80% women. The coffee features sweet-tart notes of green apple, pear, and Brazil nut, with more sweetness and less acidity than typical green category coffees. The black honey process uses mucilage with higher sugar concentration to create a sweeter and more nuanced flavor profile. Varietals include Sigararutang Ateng, Typica, and S795. This lot scored 85 points in cupping.
