Starbucks Reserve™ Bali Mount Batur

Bali, an Indonesian island known for its pristine beaches and lush bamboo groves, is paradise for growing coffee. On the volcanic slopes of Mt. Batur, coffee plants are shaded by orange trees that protect them from direct sunlight and intercropped with taro and cassava root. Fallen leaves from high-reaching canopies provide the soil with organic matter and essential nutrients, creating balance in the ecosystem. This lot is the product of 137 smallholder farms and brought to life using a traditional wet-hulled processing method. The result is a revelation–a harmony of elegant oak accents and notes of milk chocolate with a candied butterscotch sweetness.
