INDONESIA TORAJA SAPAN DANGI'

Toraja stands as a hidden gem in Indonesia’s coffee landscape, renowned for producing some of the country’s finest beans. Since our visit in 2018, Toraja has held a special place in our hearts, offering coffees that are clean, fruity, and full-bodied. Among the standout regions is Sapan, located in North Toraja Regency. During our journey, we had the privilege of collaborating with Kelana St. Coffee, a passionate local producer and roaster dedicated to showcasing the best of Toraja’s coffee heritage.

Sapan is an underrated region with a unique coffee character, known for its vibrant citrus acidity and bold body. The specific lot we feature was curated by Kelana St. Coffee in partnership with local smallholder farmers. It undergoes a semi-washed, dry hulled process a method well suited to the rural environment. This approach shortens the processing time to just 1–2 weeks, compared to the longer periods required for traditional fully washed or natural processes. The faster turnaround not only preserves coffee quality but also supports sustainable practices by maintaining a steady supply chain between green coffee buyers and local producers.

Indonesia Toraja Sapan Dangi' coffee offers a refined and vibrant flavor profile. Its cup opens with delicate sencha tea-like notes, bringing a clean and herbaceous essence. A soft floral aroma of frangipani adds an elegant touch, leading into the juicy sweetness of white peach. Bright hints of orange peel provide a zesty finish, creating a balanced and memorable experience that is both refreshing and complex.
