INDONESIA CURTINA TRIKATA DUNIA

Agung Island

Direct trade gives us something beyond access to good coffee. It allows us to understand the people behind each harvest and follow the decisions that shape its quality. This marks our fourth year working with Curtina Coffee and each season brings a new reason to look forward to Kintamani. This harvest we managed to secure five distinct micro lots from the region. Each offers a different expression of Bali’s coffee landscape and the people who bring it to life.

Among this season’s selections are the latest natural anaerobic lots processed by Wana who leads the processing team at Curtina Coffee. Ripe cherries are carefully picked and sorted before undergoing fermentation in sealed barrels. The cooler temperatures and climate of the region allow fermentation to develop at a slower pace, building greater depth and complexity. We find this lot particularly enjoyable for its rounded sweetness and well balanced character. It is a thoughtful expression of Bali coffee that feels both refined and approachable.

The cup opens with generous notes of melon and cherry supported by a crisp malic acidity. Brewed by hand it develops further layers of orange and lady apple. As espresso the profile moves towards deeper stone fruit character with black cherry followed by hints of raisin and dates. With milk it takes on a sweeter and nuttier expression of macadamia and roasted walnut. As it cools subtle notes of baguette and pecan begin to emerge. It is the kind of Bali coffee that makes everyday drinking feel effortlessly good.

The Producer

The story of Arkib Coffee wouldn’t be complete without Bali coffee,it’s where our roasting journey began. Back in the day, the first beans we ever roasted were fully washed Bali coffee. Their vibrant flavours and the joy of the craft instantly hooked us, sparking a passion that turned into a career. From that moment, sourcing coffee directly from Bali became a dream we’ve chased ever since.

Our search led us to Curtina, a small coffee producer nestled in the Kintamani highlands. Founded by Wana Prastha, the son of Sang Kompyang who is a commercial coffee producer and processor, he has taken Bali coffee to new heights. Under Wana’s leadership, the team has pushed boundaries with experimental techniques like anaerobic and yeast processing, unlocking bold, unique flavours.

Unlike typical commercial operations, Curtina is dedicated to specialty coffee. Each batch is thoughtfully curated from multiple micro lots, using various fermentation and processing methods to showcase the beans’ best qualities. Thanks to this meticulous approach, Curtina has become one of the top direct producers we trust in delivering exceptional coffee every single time.
