Sulawesi-Kalosi

Peet's Coffee & Tea

A rare coffee with unusual depth and complexity. Rich, full body with a hint of nutty earthiness.

Sulawesi is another island in the Indonesian archipelago. The best quality coffees from Sulawesi are grown and processed in the area called Torajaland, near the upcountry town of Rantepao. The Toraja people have an interesting cultural history that carries over to their methods of producing coffee in very traditional ways. The coffee trees are grown on small plots around the villagers' houses, and the entire family takes part in the picking and processing. We've even seen coffee trees growing on the edges of the rice paddies that provide the diet staple. Coffee is a cash crop that supplements the family income.

There is something about these age-old traditional methods that give Sulawesi Kalosi coffee its unique flavor. It exhibits a rich, full body; moderate, well-balanced acidity; and a multidimensional aromatic character with prominent herbal, nutty, and pleasantly sweet woody notes. This is a rare coffee and somewhat expensive, but it is one of the finest in the world.
