This Sulawesi coffee is grown in the mountainous highlands of the island of Sulawesi in the Kalossi region of Indonesia. The beans are cultivated on small family farms using traditional organic methods. The unique wet-hulling process common in Indonesia contributes to the coffee's distinctive earthy notes and heavy, silky body. The flavor profile has deep, earthy undertones, warm spices including cinnamon, cardamom, and black pepper, with notes of chocolate, caramel, and molasses, along with subtle fruit notes of raisin and dried plum.
Café Moto was founded in 2012 by Jason Weis in San Diego, California. The roastery operates a Diedrich IR 12 from its location, producing bright, clean profiles that highlight origin characteristics. Weis sources through direct trade relationships with farmers and importers, focusing on single origin coffees and seasonal offerings. The café serves espresso, pour over, and retail beans, and the business supplies wholesale accounts across San Diego's restaurant, café, and hotel scene. Café Moto also hosts public cuppings and education events as part of its involvement in the local specialty coffee community.
