Coffee from Indonesia is a Rising Star

Historically, Indonesian coffees are earthier and heavier bodied in the cup, enhanced by the wet-hulled processing prevalent in the area. Today, they are more popular than ever with coffee connaisseurs. Indonesian coffee is showing up in coffee insider media and third-wave coffee shops everywhere. What's driving this popularity and why is coffee from Indonesia a rising star right now?

Indonesian Coffee is Traditionally Undervalued

Traditionally undervalued in the coffee world, Indonesian coffees have historically been used as filler and cheap additions to add body to blends. Perhaps as recently as 20 years ago, stand out coffees were truly difficult to find in Indonesia, but that is not the case today. Importers and producers have invested in farm and processing infrastructure, allowing farmers to break out of the wet-hulled tradition that still dominates most Indonesian coffee processing.

Investments in Processing Upping Indonesian Washed Coffee Game

We have been buying washed coffees like the Papua New Guinea (PNG) Organic Siane Chimbu for more than a decade and the processing continues to improve. Our coffee importer used to refer to many washed Indonesians as "semi-washed" coffee, because their character in the cup was not as clean as washed coffees from Africa or the Americas. In recent years, however, PNG coffee has become cleaner and cleaner. This PNG's delicate citrus notes now really shine through a creamy body which has always been typical of this coffee.

  

Another coffee which exemplifies this trend is the Timor-Leste Organic Eratoi Ermera which is a washed coffee that is more cleanly processed than almost any other Indonesian bean that comes into our roastery. It is also more traceable than many Indonesian coffees are historically. The result is a coffee with great balance and refined acidity. We're thrilled to have this coffee come back for a second year on the Trianon bean wall.

Our organic Bali Kintimani is another example of how processing has been getting better in Indonesia. This natural-processed coffee is sticky sweet and fruity, defying most people's pre-conceptions of how Indonesian coffee should taste. When we first started roasting this coffee more than five years ago, it had funky earthy undertones that were the result of inconsistent processing. These off flavors sometimes muddied its fruity flavor profile. Every year since, this coffee becomes more and more refined. This year's harvest has the cleanest profile of any of the Kintimanis we've tasted to date.

Wet-hulled Coffee Continues to Shine in Indonesia

Let's not forget the great wet-hulled coffees that continue to come out of Indonesia. Wet-hulling, still the prevalant processing method throughout Indonesia, enhances the earthiness and reduces the acidity of the final brew. Despite the fact that the processing methods haven't changed much for these coffees, the quality of these coffees has also been improving alongside the improvements in coffees processed using other methods.

This is exemplified in 3 coffees from our roastery: Flores, Sulawesi, and Sumatra Dark. The Flores is the lightest of the three with a raw or brown sugar sweetness and a slight nuttiness. The Sulawesi has a buttery character to it's mouth feel with herbal and floral notes. The Sumatra Dark Roast is our heaviest bodied coffee--a classic, robust, earthy Indonesian brew.

  

These coffees used to receive cupping scores in the low 80's that prevented many roasters from featuring them as single origin coffees. For example, at Trianon, we originally used Sulawesi as a fill-in when Sumatra was hard to find or too expensive and discovered it brewed up wonderfully on its own. Now, these coffees are much more comparably priced and they both stand on their own from a quality perspective. These beans now usually score in the mid-to-high 80's.

Why is this happening now? Scientific advances are more available to everyone in the world because of access to mobile technology. As producers throughout Indonesia refine their processing techniques and the available scientific knowledge about coffee production explodes, we love tasting how the resulting coffees improve with every season.

Trianon Offers an Extensive Selection of Indonesian Coffees

Indonesian beans have great character. Many coffee roasters don't feature them, but we have always stocked them and will continue to do so, especially as Indonesain coffee quality contiues to rise.

Reviews and comments can be helpful most times. permit me to share that, in the first week of March 2024, I was convinced to invest in a fake Altcoin cryptocurrency platform through someone I connected with on Telegram , which I did but unfortunately after investing my money I discovered I could not withdraw or access my account on the fake platform. Lucky for me, I came across a review on funds recovery and I contacted Coinsrecoveryworldwide Service, and through their help and support I was able to recover my money. Losing money trading crypto can be frustrating but I am happy today that my funds are recovered and I wish to share with you their contacts as i know i am not alone on this boat, nobody deserves to be in such situation.

As I embarked on my journey to recovery, I found myself drawn to the captivating world of Alpha Spy Nest, a game that not only provided a much-needed distraction but also became a vital tool in my healing process. From the moment I first tapped the screen and watched the vibrant coins cascade across the display, I felt a sense of calm wash over me, a respite from the turmoil that had consumed my life. The rhythmic tapping and the satisfying sound of coins clinking together became a soothing melody, a symphony that drowned out the noise of my own thoughts and allowed me to focus solely on the task at hand.

Each level presented new challenges, requiring me to strategize, problem-solve, and think critically – skills that had become dulled by the weight of my struggles. As I progressed through the game, I found myself becoming more engaged, more focused, and more determined to succeed. The sense of accomplishment that came with each level completed was like a small victory, a reminder that I still possessed the strength and resilience to overcome the obstacles in my path. The game’s vibrant graphics and whimsical sound effects provided a much-needed escape, transporting me to a world where the only thing that mattered was the next move, the next coin to be collected.

But Alpha Spy Nest was more than just a distraction; it was a tool for self-discovery. As I navigated the various levels, I found myself learning valuable lessons about patience, perseverance, and the importance of taking things one step at a time. The game’s ability to engage my mind and challenge my problem-solving skills proved to be a powerful catalyst for personal growth, helping me to regain a sense of control and confidence that had been lost in the throes of my recovery. Each time I overcame a particularly difficult level, I felt a surge of pride and a renewed sense of purpose, a reminder that I was capable of achieving the goals I had set for myself.
