Even bad coffee is better than no coffee at all
David Lynch
The history of coffee in Toraja started when Dutch East India Company was in control of coffee production in Sulawesi (also known as Celebes), during most of the 1700s and introduced Arabica Coffee to the island in 1750.
Most coffees from Sulawesi are processed using the traditional Giling-Basah (wet-hulled) method unique to Indonesia. This results in the heavy body, low acidity, and earthy flavor most commonly associated with them.
But in Marinding village, we do the coffee process a bit differently, You might called it semi washed method where the
coffee is dried to a fairly low moisture level before being hulled , which bring out the real character of toraja coffee, caramelized aroma.
The coffee plantation itself is located at high altitude which measure at 1200-1500 meter above sea level, with few areas has altitude even higher than 1500 meter.
When the harvest time arrives, the picking of coffee is done manually which is by hand. This ensures that only the ripes one is being picked.
Most of the growing and harvesting of coffee in Toraja is utilized due to the very mountainous terrain and the haphazard planting of the coffee trees, resulting in a yield of only around 500 kilo per hectare of coffee.
Therefore, we are at Toraja Royal willing to serve our customer to the very best both in quality and quantity and to provide the MARINDING COFFEE which has aroma of bright, sweet caramelized coffee with a little bit touch of cinnamon.
