Bali Blue

Bali Blue — volcanic highlands, wet-hulled, roasted medium-dark.

Grown at 1,200–1,600 m in the Kintamani Highlands of central Bali on volcanic loam, by producers organized through Subak Abian, a traditional structure of farmer organization in upland Bali. Cherries are hand-picked, wet-hulled and sun-dried in two stages on raised beds — the traditional Indonesian method known as giling basah. Roasted medium-dark: baker’s chocolate, orange peel, juniper and molasses.
