FLORES COFFEE
Flores (or Flower) Island is 360 miles long, and is located 200 miles to the east of Bali. It was named by the Portuguese for the beautiful coral gardens that surround it. The island of Komodo, just to the west, is home to the world’s largest lizard, the Komodo Dragon.
The terrain of Flores is rugged, with numerous active and inactive volcanoes. Ash from these volcanoes has created especially fertile Andosols, ideal for organic coffee production. Arabica coffee is grown at 1,200 to 1,800 meters on hillsides and plateaus. Most of the production is grown under shade trees and wet processed at farm level. Although, most coffee is produced with semi-washed process, a few holders has started a fully washed process that producing a very interesting clean cup and acidity found in Central and South American coffee yet with Indonesian coffee characteristic. In general, befitting its name, coffee from Flores is known for sweet chocolate, floral and woody notes.
