Low Acid Texture
One of the hallmarks of Toraja Mountain Coffee is what we call a “low acid texture.” This is unique to our rare beans, harvested from only sun, rain and soil high atop the mountains of the Toraja region of South Sulawesi Indonesia.
So what does low acid actually mean? Well, maybe you already know. Many coffees can produce a sort of heartburn-like feeling when you drink them. The coffee seems a bit aggressive and caustic to the stomach. Our coffee is the exact opposite. And very notably so.
Because of the purity of our beans and the methods of natural farming employed by our farmers, our beans have a very low acid feel. Even drank black, or as espresso, you will not feel any heartburn. You will not have to muscle down a bitter cup. Our beans are notably smooth. The flavor is bright and full, but easy on the palate and stomach. It truly is a characteristic of Toraja Mountain Coffee that you will come to appreciate and love. And this applies to all of our beans, from Utara all the way to Pulu Pulu.
Please enjoy and next time you have a cup, notice the texture and what we mean when we say “low acid texture.”

Indonesian Coffee and the Magic of Mountain Farming
When it comes to Indonesian coffee, typically people think of Sumatra. Truthfully, it really is a big, beautiful island in Indonesia with more than 50 million inhabitants. And delicious Indonesian coffee has been grown, harvested, roasted and shipped from the world-famous Sumatra region for over a century. In fact, it’s where we get the word ‘java’ from, because Java is one of the islands in the region. And for a time it was considered the best coffee in the world.
Biodiversity & Better Coffee
Like any plant, coffee takes nutrients from the soil, water and rain. In industrial coffee farms, this means row after row of coffee plant, isolated from nature, fertilized, mechanically harvested, etc. It’s sterile, repetitive and the opposite of wild.
The Depths of Utara Dark
There’s no denying the current trend in modern coffee shops: light, pungent, fruit-forward roasts are in fashion. Sometimes, the mere mention of a dark or medium roast will make you seem old school, and not cool.
