Tasting Notes: Chocolate / Sugarcane / Papaya

We are proud to feature our Java Gunung Tikukur — a coffee that exemplifies the dedication and craftsmanship of local producers in West Java.

Java Gunung Tikukur exceptional lot offers a bright and juicy profile, showcasing vibrant notes of green grape, sugarcane, and creamy caramel. The fruit-forward acidity is balanced by deeper undertones of chocolate, toffee and molasses, adding a rich sweetness and lingering complexity. The double-fermentation washed process enhances clarity while layering depth into the cup, creating a clean yet indulgent experience from first sip to finish.

Named after a native turtle dove and a nearby mountain, Gunung Tikukur is grown and harvested by smallholder farmers in the Tenjolaya Ciwidey region. These producers deliver fresh cherry directly to a centralized wet mill, where it undergoes careful processing: initial floating to select only the ripest red cherries, followed by a 16-hour fermentation, and drying in solar dryers to preserve clarity and complexity in the cup.

This coffee is a tribute not only to the land and its people, but also to the vibrant heritage that continues to shape our industry.
