Mt. Ijen, East Java Province, Indonesia

Mt. Ijen, Indonesia is a mountain located in East Java, around 3,5 hours' drive from Bali. It is a somewhat active volcano in East Java province, Indonesia, but it is significantly bigger than Mt. Argopuro, because it is comprised of many smaller mountains surrounding it.

A popular tourist destination is its crater which has the world's biggest acid lake, bright turquoise in colour, that burns with a blue fire from the sulphur in the water.

The coffee farmers that live on these two mountains usually also farm and sell tobacco and other commodities when the coffee season is over. Their grandparents are usually ethnically originally from Madura Island (a smaller island north of Java Island). Many of them speak the Madurese language, even though Javanese is spoken in Surabaya, the closest big city to these two mountains.

In terms of climate, the eastern part of East Java province is very dry tropical savannah.

This coffee is processed as follows: cherry harvesters pick the cherries which are then quality checked and received at Botolinggo wet mill. Here the cherry is washed and sorted for density and by colour. The coffee then undergoes anaerobic fermentation in a tank for 7 days, then drying for 7 to 10 days. It is then packed and shipped to Driyorejo dry mill for hulling and sorting. It is then quality checked again and packed for export.

Anaerobic coffees are often known for their complexity, offering a wide range of aromas and flavors which are enhanced by the fermentation process excluding oxygen in a sealed tank.

Tasting notes: Ripe berries, peach syrup and palm sugar. These flavors give way to a jammy mouthfeel and slight booziness.
