The Dharmawan family’s tenacity and resilience to produce award winning coffees, despite being a small family farm with limited resources, never fails to impress us. We are so humbled to be continuing this relationship into 2026. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCherries are sorted and placed in an airtight tank added with Lactic Acid Bacteria starter (LAB). LAB converts simple carbohydrates into lactic acid, breaking down sugars in the mucilage, this results in a creamier mouthfeel and dense yoghurt-like flavours. Cherries are then laid on raised beds to dry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY WE CHOSE THIS COFFEE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s our first time featuring a Lactic natural process from Ijen, showcasing how incorporating LAB can produce dramatically different flavours with the same varietals.
