West Java Bandung G1 TP Semi-Washed

West Java Bandung G1 TP Wet-Hulled

Grown in the volcanic highlands of Bandung Regency, this Grade 1 Arabica coffee reflects the rich agricultural traditions of West Java. Sourced from smallholder farms across Pangalengan, Ciwidey, Lembang, and Garut, the coffee is cultivated at elevations of 1,200 to 1,500 meters, where cool temperatures and fertile volcanic soils create ideal conditions for slow cherry maturation and flavor development.

Farming & Varietals

Local farmers practice selective picking, harvesting only ripe cherries to ensure quality. The varietals grown - Kartika, Lini S, Sigararutang, Ateng, Andungsari, and Komasti - are well adapted to high altitudes and known for their consistent cup profiles.

Processing: Semi-Washed & Wet Hulling

The coffee undergoes a semi-washed process, where ripe cherries are selectively harvested. The outer skin of the cherries is removed, leaving some of the mucilage (coffee honey) to stay on the bean. The coffee beans are wet hulled (Giling Basah) while the beans are still moist, contributing to the coffee’s signature earthy and syrupy profile.

Beans are dried under direct sunlight on patios, turned regularly to ensure even drying until they reach optimal moisture levels.

Grading: Grade 1 Triple Picked

This coffee is Grade 1 TP, meaning it has been Triple Picked - a rigorous sorting process that removes defects and ensures uniformity. In Indonesia, Grade 1 represents the highest quality tier, suitable for specialty export.

Indonesian Coffee Beans

The key Indonesian green coffee regions include Aceh, North Sumatra, South Sulawesi, West Java, Bali, and Flores. Java, in particular, is renowned for its pivotal role in spreading coffee production across the Indonesian archipelago. While regions like Sulawesi and Sumatra boast a long history of coffee cultivation, Bali represents a relatively newer coffee-growing area, primarily known for its small-batch, limited-scale coffee production.
