Sulawesi Toraja "White Eagle" Arabica Coffee
Cup Characteristics
This Arabica Sulawesi Toraja White Eagle coffee is from the Island of Sulawesi, Indonesia and cups as an earthy, mouth-filling beautiful coffee with pronounced aromatics of tobacco and exotic earth notes. Sturdy, pronounced but not overbearing body. Extraordinarily smooth with big body, low acidity, and balanced well.
The Sulawesi Toraja "White Eagle" Semi-Washed Grade 1 coffee is the extremely rare coffee of the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia.
In one of the most remote coffee growing areas anywhere in the world, far in the interior of Toraja, the most exclusive of all Toraja coffees "White Eagle" is grown.
The coffee is grown by the oldest and original Toraja trees which can be only found here and in some remote original areas in Ethiopia. These original Typica trees are small, produce their first coffee only after 5 years in the ground and their yield is very loaw at less than 150 kilos per year. Many of these trees are original and date back morethan 250 years and therefore well before the Dutch landed on the island.
The coffee trees are fully shaded, not by shade trees, but by the virgin jungle. The White Eagle coffee is as sustainable as it can get! The beans are relatively small but have a unique flavor not found in any other Toraja coffee, which is derived from newer variety planting such as Linie-S and a new variety of Berg enDaal (Typica)
The areas is so remote without any possible dirt roads that it takes as long as 4 days on horseback to bring the coffee down from the mountain from where the coffee is transferred by motorcycles and small pickup trucks for further transportation to Makassar.
Upon arrival at our facilities in Makassar, the White Eagle is kept completely separate from all other coffees as the Crown Jewel of all the Toraja Arabica's. Only 300-600 bags can be produced each crop year of this truly superb and outstanding coffee.
The island of Sulawesi is unique within the Indonesian Archepello of over 17,000 islands. it has over 200 indigenous bird species and countless indigenous flora and fuana. In addition, Toraja has a unique culture with many different tribes and customs. It is a favorite spot for National Geographic as well as ecotourism.
Many coffee buyers from all over the world are stunned by its exquisite beauty and coffee culture in full harmony with nature Once high on the mountain slopes, one can admire the terraced rice patios up to 6,000 feet high in between coffee trees and vrgin jungle all he way down the valley to 1,000 ft. In our opinion this is one of the most beautiful coffee growing areas in the world.
