Balinese 'Kintamani'

A unique offering at this roast level, with flavor notes of strawberry, rhubarb, clove, and cedar - Balinese ‘Kintamani’ has a big body, but also has some beautifully delicate characteristics, which is very rare for the region. Balinese producers continue to maintain a traditional rural lifestyle organized around a Subak Abian, which is a reference to the ecologically sustainable irrigation systems developed more than 1,000 years ago by Hindu priests who practice Tri Hita Karana (the three sources of prosperity), a philosophy focused on the harmonization between the environment, humans, and God. These traditions are followed in coffee cultivation, which means pesticides and synthetic fertilizers are never used.
