The delicate butter cookie aroma doesn’t prepare you for what happens next. The first sip lands a thick, bakers chocolate punch laced with toasted brown sugar and melba toast with a hint of pecan. The finish is clean, except for the bakers chocolate that lingers into the next sip.

Sulawesi Toraja Grade 1 coffee is sourced from the Toraja people, an indigenous group from the central mountain region of the South Sulawesi province on Sulawesi Island (formerly known as Celebes), Indonesia.  Sulawesi is a starfish shaped island, far older than the rest of the Indonesian archipelago, with a complex geography that includes thousand-foot rock walls exploding vertically out of rice paddy fields and capped in perpetual mist. Toraja village life is like a dreamland illusion with houses that resemble boats and animist rituals called aluk to dolo (the way of the ancestors) that are reminiscent of Santeria.
