FULL DESCRIPTION
Manufacturer:
The Ijen Highlands of East Java produce specialty coffee with exceptional character. On the mineral-rich volcanic slopes of Mount Ijen, generations of farmers cultivate native coffee varieties. The unique terroir and skillful processing create green beans of exceptional quality.
Farmers cultivate a diversified mix of trees, including Typica, S795, Andungsari, and other prized varieties. They handpick only the ripest red cherries. The freshly harvested cherries are then transported to the washing station in the village of Botolinggo.
At the washing station, the cherries first undergo thorough washing and density sorting in water channels. Experienced workers manually inspect and remove any defects. Only the highest grade cherries proceed with processing.
The selected cherries are spread out in the sun to dry slowly for 11-13 days. Frequent turning ensures even drying to an optimal moisture level. The dried beans are then sent to the dry processing station in Driyorejo.
Here the outer parchment is removed from the dried cherry. The green beans undergo pneumatic and manual sorting to eliminate any defects. They are also graded by size using sieves. Only the largest and most uniform green beans are selected for export.
The result is an exemplary quality green coffee, reflecting the distinctive terroir of the Ijen Highlands and generations of farming experience that produced it.
How to choose:
NITROGEN AND VACUUM
Our packages are all packaged in a protected atmosphere (first under vacuum and then we insert nitrogen), using this particular technology which eliminates oxygen in the package, the coffee remains fresh for up to 3 months after roasting.
ROAST
We roast in two different ways, dividing into two main groups, based on the type of extraction:
- Light: suitable for Filtro/Aeropress type extractions, or for those looking for a coffee with a note of strong acidity and many aromas.
- Medium: suitable for Espresso/Moka extractions, or for those who want a coffee with a much more intense flavor and a hint of bitterness.
GRINDING
There are dozens of different grindings, it can be said that each machine or equipment requires a specific grinding.
With us you can choose to buy ground coffee for Moka or Filter.
We have tried to summarize them as follows:
- Jug/Cezve:
- Espresso:
- Moka:
- V60 Filter:
- Chemex:
- French Press/Infusore:
HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Coffee has a limited shelf life when we talk about quality. Even if up to 24 months can be written on the label, generally high quality coffee has lost most of its flavor and aroma in a few months. We recommend drinking it between 10 days and 60 days after the roasting date (provided the bag has never been opened). When the bag is opened, the quality of the coffee always deteriorates rapidly and aromas and flavor are lost within a few days. Unfortunately, the roasting date is not always written, especially by larger companies. On our packages you will find it clearly written on the back.
P.S. our bags are all vacuum packaged with added nitrogen, which extends the potential shelf life of the product.
How to do:
ESPRESSO
Espresso requires some precision rules:
- Quality coffee
- Recommended roasting within 30-40 days
- Fine grinding
- Water temperature around 90-92°
- A single dose of 8-9g (double dose of 15-17g)
- Extraction time approximately 25 seconds
The use of quality espresso machines (range from €600 and up) can ensure a better result.
Preferably are machines that also have a coffee grinder to grind "fresh" coffee
MOKA
The Moka requires a little attention:
- Use filtered or bottled water (NO TAP)
- Recommended roasting within 30-40 days
- Medium-fine grinding
- Fill the boiler with water without exceeding the valve
- Place the ground coffee into the filter without pressing or making any bumps, simply level it at the edge
- Place over medium heat
- Wait for the liquid to rise through the chimney, without letting it gurgle (TURN OFF AS SOON AS THE FLOW OF COFFEE BEGINS TO GO FAST AND COLOURLESS)
- Mix before serving
The Moka should only be washed with water and any neutral detergents (taking care to rinse carefully with water), never in the dishwasher or with abrasive sponges.
FILTER V60/CHEMEX
Filter or Chemex coffee requires precision in times and weights, some advice:
- Quality coffee
- Recommended roasting within 20 days
- Medium grind (medium-coarse for Chemex)
- Filtered or bottled water
- Water temperature of approximately 90-94° depending on the coffee used (generally those washed at higher temperatures)
- Approximately 15g of ground coffee for every 250g of water (Chemex at least 30g per 500g of water)
- Pre-infuse for 30-40 seconds by pouring hot water for double the weight of coffee used
- Pour the water in two or three steps as desired with a rotating direction, being careful not to create too much turbulence
- Contact/percolation time approximately 3 minutes (4-5 for Chemex)
A light roast is generally recommended for filter systems
AEROPRESS
The Aeropress requires some precision rules:
- Quality coffee
- Recommended roasting within 20-30 days
- Medium grind (or as preferred)
- Use filtered water or bottle
- Water temperature around 85-90°
- A dose of approximately 17g per 200-220g of water
- Pour water for pre-infusion of 30-40 seconds
- Mix with the appropriate spoon
- Then pour in the remaining water and close the cap
- Turn the aeropress upside down and press firmly but steadily until extraction is complete
- Total contact/infusion time 2-3 minutes

There are dozens of different systems for extracting coffee, we have summarized the main ones here but if you need to know how to do the others not on the list, contact us
