The Indonesian Island of Sulawesi, formerly known as Celebes, has been growing coffee for over 250 years, thanks to the Dutch East India Company bringing coffee trees to Indonesia in the 1700s. Sulawesi is an island located in East Indonesia. Grown in the southeastern part of the island, Kalossi is named after the nearby town of the growing area. Wildly grown, difficult to find, and extremely flavorful. With elevations up to 2000m and mild volcanic soil, the coffee beans bring a new experience to your coffee mug. Spicy and rich, while still being smooth, makes for a dynamic taste. The coffee is best described as sweet and a little spicy. The tasting notes include cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, and dried plum, and the wet-hulled process adds a slightly earthy tint, leaving you with coffee that is complex on the palate and will be the star of your morning coffee experience.
