Indonesia Java Halu Double Washed

As we continue to expand our range of coffees to include more that are grown in Asia, we are delighted to feature a new season of four Indonesian lots from amazing entrepreneur and coffee farmer Rani Mayasari. Rani is a powerhouse coffee farmer and exporter who promotes women's empowerment and coffee education through her farm, Java Halu, in West Java. We absolutely love Rani's vision and the way she creates positive change in her community and the coffee industry at large, and we're thrilled to offer her coffees here once again.

This coffee is a buttery washed with warming cranberry and molasses notes ... a grounded yet cheerful combo that is perfect for this time of year. Double washing increases its creamy flavour profile and adds an extra layer of sweetness to the gentle acidity.

Located in West Java on the mountains of Tilu and Gunuug Halu, Java Halu employs more than 80% women and provides training in all branches of coffee production, including growing, processing, roasting, and barista skills. They create products such as fuel and livestock feed from waste created during the coffee farming process and strive to be as environmentally responsible as possible in all areas of growing and processing. Rani often collaborates with other Indonesian coffee farmers and is eager to share her knowledge and expertise. Everything at Java Halu is done out of a desire to help people and the planet, so we're honoured to promote Rani's work.

And if you're the kind of person who enjoys trying different coffees from the same farm, check out Rani's other lots here: a Natural (currently sold out, but coming back soon!), a Honey Process, and a special lab-synthesised Luwak.
