What makes Toraja Mountain Coffee so special?
Unlike the widely available Indonesian Sumatran coffee, our coffee’s uniqueness comes from the region it’s grown in and the people it’s grown by. Entirely remote, it takes almost 3-days(36 hours) worth of travel from the United States just to reach the farms and villages where our beans grow. And getting it isn’t easy. Our coffee beans grow in areas where they have to be transported down narrow mountain paths accessible only by motorbike or water buffalo.
What brewing methods do you recommend?
Ultimately, it's up to you. However, we recommend different brewing methods for each of our coffees. For example: Sapan it fantastic as a pour over. You can find the recommended brewing methods on each of the product detail pages on our website.
Is your coffee diet friendly?.(ie: Gluten free, Vegan, etc.)
All of our coffees are naturally vegan and gluten free, making them keto and paleo-friendly.
Do you offer decaf options?
At this time we do not offer any decaf options for our coffee. However, the way our coffee is grown, processed and roasted creates a brew that isn’t too heavily caffeinated allowing you to enjoy our coffee at any time of the day without feeling jittery.
