Roast Style: Classic

These will be fuller bodied coffees that exhibit more obvious roast-centric flavours, like caramelised sugar.

While bitterness has its place in every coffee, there is enough of that in each raw coffee without us ever feeling it is necessary to add more of that through the roast process. For this reason, even our darkest roasts are still very moderate medium roasts, relative to the full spectrum of coffee roasts available in the market today.

Our classic coffees will make great espresso-based beverages, and they're a good option for french press and moka-pot brewing, especially if you like your coffee with milk.

Roaster's Notes

To avoid the pitfall of under or overroasting that can occur more frequently during roasting collective coffee lots, our strategy involves longer ramp times coupled with moderate heat application throughout. This guarantees more consistent heat absorption throughout the beans.

Our main objective? Safeguarding the integrity of this wonderfully clean and complex flavour profile, characterised by notes of melon, cooked rhubarb and plum, while maximising sweetness! The extended roast time and high level caramelisation play their role in this coffee’s rounded, textured mouthfeel.

COFFEE ORIGIN INFO

For more than 15 years, Wildan has been the guiding force behind Frinsa Estate. His wife, Atieq, handles administration and finances, while their son, Fikri, is deeply involved in the processing side of production. Equipped with their wet mill, dry mill, and well-ventilated storage, Frinsa Estate oversees every step - right from harvest to grading, sorting, and shipping. Beyond their own coffees, Wildan maintains strong community ties by processing coffee from nearby smallholder farms in West Java.

The coffees making up this collective lot were dry-fermented between 12 - 14 hours. To combat the humid climate, a significant portion of the coffee underwent preliminary drying in their greenhouse, ensuring consistent and uniform drying before completing the drying process on the ground or in parabolic dryers. This pre-drying step is still an uncommon practice with many farms within the Indonesian market.

This coffee exemplifies how the extra attention throughout processing and drying results is stunning, nuanced coffee lots and keeps us coming back year after year!
