Sulawesi is an Indonesian single-origin from the Toraja highlands — wet-hulled in the traditional Giling Basah method, producing a cup with the syrupy body and dark chocolate depth that defines great Indonesian coffee, plus a spice complexity that’s uniquely Toraja. A full pound per bag, hand-roasted in 25-lb small batches by master roasters with 20 years at the drum.
Tasting notes: Dark chocolate, baking spice, brown sugar, earthy, syrupy body, low acidity.

The farm story: Sulawesi Toraja coffee comes from the mountainous interior of the island — a region famous for its elaborate funeral traditions and ship-shaped houses. Coffee is grown by smallholder Torajan families who’ve farmed the same volcanic slopes for generations.
Brew recommendation: French press (1:15 ratio, coarse grind) to emphasize the body. Also exceptional as a Moka pot coffee.
A hidden detail: Sulawesi sits directly on Wallace’s Line — the biogeographic boundary that Alfred Russel Wallace identified as separating Asian and Australian animal species.

What neighbors say
Which grind should I pick for this coffee?
Match your brewer: Espresso for espresso machines, Auto Drip for a standard coffee maker, Pour Over for a V60 or Kalita, Chemex, French Press, Aeropress, Moka Pot, Turkish or Cold Brew. We grind right after roasting at no charge. If you own a grinder, choose Whole Bean for the longest peak.
When was this roasted?
It hasn’t been yet. We roast your bag the day your order comes in and ship within one business day, so it arrives inside coffee’s peak-flavor window.

A full pound (16 oz) — about 33% more than the 12 oz bag most specialty roasters ship. That is roughly 30 cups of drip or 22 double shots. 9 oz, 2 lb and 5 lb sizes are available too.
