The island of Flores, one of the Lesser Sunda Islands in East Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia, and was first discovered by the Portuguese in the early 15th century. The Ngada District is where most coffee is grown, located on the slopes of the Inerie Volcano, the tallest on the island, that reaches nearly 7,400 ft. elevation. Within Ngada, coffee is grown on an estimated 6000 hectares; whereby, 90% is Arabica coffee. The small co-ops consists of farmers who both farm and process their own coffee. There are now 12 different coops in Bajawa all working together, to produce wonderful coffee with smooth body and overwhelming, syrupy chocolate notes.
Our Flores "Komodo Dragon" has notes of smooth, rich, baker's chocolate, hints of vanilla, and above-average sweetness, in a medium-full body, with low acidity. We recommend a medium to a medium-dark roast.
