Choosing between Toraja and Gayo
Both are wet hulled, so both are heavy and low in acidity, and buyers often ask which to take. Sumatra is more savoury, with cedar, tobacco, and forest floor, and it is available in larger volume at a lower price. Sulawesi is sweeter and cleaner, with dark chocolate and spice, a tighter Grade 1 defect count, and one to two more cup points, at a higher cost and a smaller crop. Roasters building a single origin usually take Sulawesi; blenders needing volume usually take Sumatra. Both are offered at every grade, so the choice is about character rather than availability.
Kolaka robusta and Makassar loading
Robusta from Kolaka in Southeast Sulawesi grows at 300 to 800 metres, is sun dried, machine hulled, and gravity table sorted, and screens 16 up as EK-1 at any grade from 1 to 6. At 2.3 to 2.8% caffeine on a dry basis it is the strongest coffee we offer, which matters for soluble extraction yields, and extraction contracts normally run at 4a or 4b. Both the arabica and the robusta load through Makassar, the natural port for eastern Indonesia, or move to Jakarta for consolidated bookings.

Frequently asked questions
Ordering, samples, shipping, and payment.
Why does Toraja arabica score higher than other Indonesian lots?
Altitude and sorting. At 1,400 to 1,900 metres the cherry ripens slowly and the bean is denser, which carries sweetness through the roast, and the Grade 1 sort comes in at zero to five full defects per 300 g. The cup keeps the body of a wet hulled coffee but finishes cleaner, scoring 85 to 87 points against 84 to 86 for our Sumatran arabica at the same grade.
Is your Toraja coffee certified organic?
Yes, our Toraja arabica ships under Organic to EU and NOP rules, with the certificate held by the producer group and the transaction certificate number attached to the shipment. Volume is limited by the certified pool rather than by the crop, so certified Toraja is normally booked a season ahead.
When does Sulawesi coffee harvest and ship?
Toraja arabica is picked from May to September and normally ships from July onward, with lead times of four to five weeks because sorting is slow and thorough. Kolaka robusta peaks June to October and ships in three to four weeks. Both load through Makassar or move to Jakarta for consolidated containers.
Which Sulawesi lot suits soluble coffee extraction?
Kolaka robusta, screened EK-1 and usually taken at Grade 4a or 4b, at 2.3 to 2.8% caffeine on a dry basis, the highest on our list. Moisture is held at 12.5% maximum after re-drying at the mill and checked again before stuffing, because moisture drives both extraction yield and storage risk in a soluble plant.
