Indonésie Flores

Indonésie Flores is an intense, exotic single-origin Indonesian coffee from our Gran Riserva collection, grown on the volcanic island of Flores. Freshly roasted on demand in our Montréal facility using our signature TAG method, it is at once intense and sweet, layering fruity notes of plum and blueberry with a spicy edge of pepper and curry. It is a striking, one-of-a-kind cup, at home as filter or espresso.

Tasting Notes

This is a coffee of real character, both intense and sweet at once. Ripe notes of plum and blueberry are threaded with a distinctive spice – think cracked pepper and a whisper of curry – over a full, satisfying body. Complex and unexpected, it is a cup that rewards curiosity and slow, careful brewing. The profile described here is for our TAG roast.

Origin

Indonésie Flores is grown by around thirty families in the village of Watujaji, who farm together as the Sinar Tani cooperative – a name that translates as "Peasant Light." Their beans grow on rich volcanic soil, surrounded by wild vegetation and free of insecticides and pesticides. Life here draws on a matrilineal tradition passed down through generations, in which land is held and inherited by women – a heritage that gives this coffee a story as distinctive as its flavour. Read the story behind this coffee.

Roast

TAG (Torrefazione Artigianale Granito) is our suggested roast for single-origins. The TAG method drives the complete caramelization of the bean's natural sugars, drawing out the full depth of the coffee. The result is a rich, complex cup built on more than four decades of green-bean selection, roasting, and cupping expertise.

Brewing

For espresso, use about 1 tbsp (8 g) of coffee per 1 oz (30 ml) of fresh water. For filter or drip coffee, use 1 tbsp (8 g) per 8.5 oz (250 ml) of fresh water.
