The Best Coffee from Indonesia

Indonesia is the world's third largest producer of coffee. However, only 10% of the crop is Arabica, and the number of quality beans available for the specialty coffee industry is limited.



Even though they are a small percentage of total production, arabica coffees from this region are considered some of the best in the world, and are prized for their richness, full body, long finish, earthiness and gentle acidity.


How can I ever resist coffee? I am a certified coffee addict and it really took quite an effort on my side to limit my coffee intake to just two cups in one day (there were days when I can finish up to five cups!). So when I found myself in Indonesia, I promised myself that I will try as many kinds of coffee as I can while in Asia’s “coffee heaven.” Indonesia is actually the third largest producing region in the world!

Coffee beans have their own origins and possess different characteristics that they got depending on how these beans are processed, where the beans were grown and the weather conditions that beans have to face. In the case of Indonesia, the major places where coffee is grown include Sulawesi, Sumatra, East Timor, Papua New Guinea, and Java. Unfortunately, only a very small region grows Arabica coffee beans which are most preferred kind. In terms of percentage, only 10% of the harvest is Arabica Coffee. Even if this is the case, it is known that Arabica coffee beans that are grown in Indonesia are the best. These beans are priced high for the rich flavor, gentle acidity, and full taste among others.
