Sulawesi Toraja

Tana Toraja, in the rugged central highlands of Sulawesi, produces coffee between roughly 1,100 and 1,900 metres in a region as renowned for its dramatic cliffside burial traditions and tongkonan houses as for its coffee. Like Sumatra, much Toraja coffee is wet-hulled, giving a full, syrupy body and low acidity, but the higher, cooler terrain tends to yield a cleaner cup with dark chocolate, warm spice, herbal notes, and a long finish. Grown largely by smallholders cultivating Typica-descended landraces and S795, Toraja is one of the more refined expressions of the classic heavy-bodied Indonesian profile.
