Indonesia and the Pacific

Sprawled across more than 16,000 volcanic islands, such as Java, Sumatra, and Sulawesi, Indonesia's position straddling the Pacific and Indian Oceans contributes to a unique microclimate. This region, perched in the 'bean belt' just south of the equator, offers the perfect storm of conditions for coffee cultivation—mist-kissed ocean air, fertile volcanic soils, and the shelter of natural old-growth forests. Here, the coffee beans develop a velvety mouthfeel and earthy flavors that are as enchanting as the islands they come from.
