Sulawesi
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.
