Not sure how much coffee you need?

Cups a week	250g bag
1-4	1 bag a month
5-8	2 bags a month
9-12	3 bags a month
13-16	4 bags a month

1 cup of coffee = a 240 ml serving based on a 1:16 brew ratio

For example, if your brew ratio is 1 to 16 (often expressed 1:16, or 1/16), then for every one part coffee, you use 16 parts water. In other words, to prepare 1 cup of brewed coffee you would use 15g of ground coffee and 240 ml of water.

Hinter dem Kaffee

We source this coffee through our friends at Cafe Imports. What started off as an attempt to provide an alternative to our Papua New Guinea until its fresh crop would arrive quickly turned into something different: a hot new coffee origin. And quite an easy to drink Natural filter.

The Kintamani region has received Geographical Indication, a sign that guarantees a product’s origin, how it has been produced, and its characteristics. Kintamani is situated in a well-defined environment between the Batukaru and Agung volcanoes at an average elevation of 1000-1500 masl, 8 degrees south of the equator. The climate is relatively even, with an average year-round temperature of 86°F and 85% humidity. The west monsoon brings significant rain from October to April, especially from December to March, triggering flowering and cherry production. Coffee in the region is farmed organically, but not for the certification. The region’s producers are an organized group called the Subak Abian, guided by the Hindu philosophy of Tri Hita Karana. They believe happiness is found when an individual seeks good relationships with God, others, and nature.

Along with sustainable farming, the group encourages ripe harvesting, and most coffee is washed at centralized stations. Bali has long been known for producing unique coffee, especially from Kintamani. With recent government funding and a focus on specialty production by the Subak Abian, quality is increasing in the area.

The Karana community represents a collective effort by 377 smallholder farmers in the Kintamani region of Bali, Indonesia. Rooted in the traditional Balinese community culture and practicing Hindu traditions, this group embodies a harmonious relationship between farming and local heritage. The farms, situated at an average elevation of 1,200 meters, span a total planted area of 477 hectares, cultivating S795 and Kartika coffee varieties.

S795 (also known as Jember in some regions) is one of the most prominent Arabica coffee varieties grown in Indonesia. Developed in India, it was introduced to Indonesia in the 1970s. It combines traits from S288 (Kent) and Arabica-Typica hybrids, with a small genetic contribution from liberica. This hybridization was designed to enhance its resistance to coffee leaf rust, a major disease affecting coffee plants, while preserving high-quality flavor characteristics.

The S795 variety thrives in Bali's volcanic soil and high-altitude regions, producing beans with a distinctive flavor profile. Its adaptability and resilience have contributed to its widespread cultivation across Southeast Asia.

Kartika was first grown in Indonesia by the Portuguese Centro de Investigacao das Ferrugens do Cafeirro in 1987. It gained popularity due to its exceptional flavor profile, but producers have noted that it is particularly susceptible to coffee leaf rust and other pests.

This susceptibility and the fertilizers required have made this variety less popular in recent times, although many producers swear by its production and overall cup quality.

Kartika is noted for its particularly small cherries on the trees and is believed to be a natural mutation of Catuai in the region.

The small-holder farmers in the area employ a variety of processing methods, including natural, fully washed, anaerobic, honey, and wet-hulled techniques, showcasing their dedication to innovation and quality. These diverse processing techniques result in unique flavor profiles that reflect the distinctive terroir of the Kintamani region. In addition to coffee, the farmers also grow oranges, vegetables, and other crops, enhancing the biodiversity and sustainability of their farming practices.

Sustainability lies at the heart of Karana's approach to agriculture. The contributing farmers utilize composting, avoid chemical sprays, and plant suitable overstory trees to promote ecological balance. A new cooperative dry mill, funded by private donations, will further support the farmers by providing accessible and efficient processing facilities during and after the harvest.

The Karana community's vision is to establish itself as a trusted supplier of green coffee beans for both domestic and international markets. By integrating cultural traditions, sustainable practices, and community-driven innovation, the Karana group lot offers a vibrant representation of the Kintamani region's coffee heritage.
