Notes of Toffee & Chocolate

Flores is a long, narrow island within the eastern half of the Indonesian chain. Its mountainous landscape is made up of active and inactive volcanoes surrounded by plains of rice fields. The highest peak in Flores is just over 1700 masl, and most coffee production is concentrated in the 1000-1300 masl range by intercropping smallholder producers. 

Wet-hulled processing, like Sumatra, has been a common practice, but a rising number of cooperatives and producers are applying higher-quality processes to their coffees. Today, Washed Processing is the most common practice by far, but Flores’ specialty coffee is predominantly grown above 1400 meters in the Manggarai region, with varieties like Kartika and Yellow Caturra. Processors in Flores collect coffee in cherry or wet parchment from surrounding smallholder communities, particularly in the Manggarai region. With excellent processing and preparation, these coffees reveal the unique flavor experiences from this 5,500-square-mile island.
