Origins
Indonesia's 11th largest island, Sulawesi, produces coffee at altitudes that growers on neighbouring islands can't even dream of. The mountainous region of Toraja is covered with small coffee plantations at 1100-1200m, but coffee trees can also be found around 1600-1800m altitudes in the more remote parts of the region. Sulawesi is an island geologically more than 100 million years old. Its volcanic soil has a high iron content, which is naturally reflected in the unique taste of coffee.
Coffee growing is rather random, carried out by small family farms. They plant the bushes in vacant spaces around houses and roads. For farmers, coffee is more or less a complementary commodity to water buffalo farming and rice cultivation. The island's production is therefore not staggering. Which, in turn, makes the coffee a relatively rare commodity.
The processing of coffee cherries varies from family to family. But most of the time, after harvesting, they are put in water to separate the good berries from the defective and immature ones. They are stripped of their flesh using machines and machinery made from whatever is available (bicycle handles, car fenders, etc.). Finally, the coffee is fermented in water. It is dried in direct sunlight, usually to only 50% moisture. The harvest is taken by the farmers to larger factories where it is further dried to about 11%. It then rests in bags until export.
A final brief stop at the name of this coffee: It was formerly known as Celebes Kalossi. Celebes was the Dutch colonial name for the island and Kalossi was the original name of the market where the coffee was traded.

Our quality aluminum packaging lacks any bold graphics, as we’d rather focus on the taste of our coffee.

Thanks to the hermetic seal, this container helps the contents further keep their freshness and protect them against humidity, light or foreign odors.
