Sulawesi produces only around 70,000 bags of coffee each year at around 760m to 1070m above sea level. The coffee beans are graded 1 to 4 with 1 being the best quality and usually posessing the best cup characteristics. Bisbee Coffee describes this as having Baker's chocolate flavors, velvety body, clean cup. Dark roast.
Sulawesi lies to the North of Timor and the town of Kalossi is slightly to the south of the town of Rantepao in the growing region of Toraja. The coffee trees are grown on small plots around the villagers' houses and the entire family engages in the picking and processing. Coffee is even grown on the rice paddies that provide the staple diet. Coffee serves as a cash crop that supplements the family income.
