TUANG COFFEE

Behind this coffee is Tuang Coffee – an organization operating in the Manggarai region on the Indonesian island of Flores. Its history began in 2014, when Andre Tuang returned to his homeland to support local producers and improve coffee cultivation conditions.

Today, Tuang Coffee works with thousands of farmers, offering them training, financial support, and a transparent compensation system. It is also involved in the development of local communities, funding education, infrastructure, and support programs for coffee-farming families.

ABOUT THE REGION AND PROCESSING

Shrubs of the Yellow Typica, Caturra, and Kartika varieties grow at an altitude of 1400–1700 meters above sea level, surrounded by the lush vegetation of Flores. This combination of terroir, farmers' experience, and careful processing builds the unique character of this coffee.

The lot underwent anaerobic natural processing – carefully selected cherries fermented in anaerobic conditions in a darkened room, and then were moved to raised drying beds. There, over several weeks, they slowly developed their sweetness and intensity.

The long, controlled fermentation and drying process allowed for the preservation of both juicy fruit notes and deeper accents of cocoa and balsamico, creating a rich and multidimensional profile.

ROASTER'S OPINION

Flores is a coffee that catches your attention from the very first sip with its intensity and complexity. Distinct, juicy, and full of character, it constantly surprises with its changing flavor profile. At first, a pleasant fruity freshness appears – notes of cranberry and pink grapefruit bring a vibrant acidity and juiciness that gives the cup energy and lightness.

Over time, the coffee reveals a deeper, more complex side. The fruity accents smoothly transition into notes of cocoa, which add sweetness and a velvety texture, while the whole experience is completed by a subtle, balsamic character that introduces an elegant depth and a long finish.

This is a coffee with a rich aroma and a multi-layered profile that develops with temperature, revealing further nuances with every sip. Intriguing, dynamic, and full of contrasts – ideal for individuals who appreciate coffees with a distinct personality and love discovering new flavors in every cup.

Store in a dry and cool place.
