Also known locally as Jember, Linie S-795 was selected by Balehonnor Coffee Research Station in India.
This variety was selected by R.L. Narasimhaswamy and is the product of a cross between S288 (a natural hybrid of Liberica and Arabica) and an older Kent variety, a Typica family-plant that had been adapted to growing conditions in India and is particularly suited to those in Indonesia.
Ripe cherry is harvested in from morning through the early afternoon. After intake, cherry is anaerobically fermented for 72 hours then dried on racks from approximately 7 days.
Once cherry reach the right level of moisture it is stored in the cooperative warehouse until it is shipped to our partner mill for further quality control, hulling, grading, and final hand-sorting preparations for export.

Unusual cup with lovely red wine, fruity and slight ferment flavour that is not overpowering …, really nice to drink off the beaten path (in a good way!) . The 1kg of whole beans didn’t last long !

Thank you for the great review Neel! Red wine is a great descriptor for this Indonesia. It is equally rich and indulgent with that archetypal jammy-red fruit and fermentation flavour found in red wine. This Indo is getting plenty of love from us here at the roastery as our morning v60 brew. Many thanks, Will (QC and sensory).
