Of all the coffee-producing countries, Indonesia is perhaps the most enticing. Its fascination originates not only from the unique, astonishing coffee it produces but also from the history that surrounds it.

SUMATRA
The province of Aceh in the north, the Lake Toba region in the south, and the south of the island around Mangkuraja are the three main growing regions on Sumatra.
Coffees from Takengon or Bener Mariah in Aceh, and Lintong, Sidikalang, Dolok Sanggul, or Seribu Dolok surrounding Lake Toba, may be traced to smaller localities within these regions.

JAVA
Due to the Dutch colonial history and practices, large coffee estates are more frequent here than anyplace else in Indonesia.
Up until 1900, 5 over 6 coffee producers around the world grows coffee seeds from Java Typica, to grow their coffee. Much of the coffee is grown on Java's east side, near the Ijen volcano, but there are also growers on the island's west side.

BALI
Coffee arrived in Bali late, and it was first grown in the Kintamani highland plateau. Nowadays, the Kintamani region is known for its fine Arabica beans.
When the Gunung Agung volcano erupted in 1963, it caused a severe interruption in Bali's coffee production. Robusta now accounts for about 80% of the island's crop.
FLORES
A small island around 320 kilometers east of Bali, it was a latecomer to both cultivating coffee and developing a strong reputation for it among the Indonesian islands.
The island is home to a combination of active and dormant volcanoes, which have benefited the soils. Bajawa is one of the most important growing areas.

SULAWESI
The majority of the Arabica farmed on the island is high up around Tana Toraja. The city of Kalosi, to the south, has become a kind of brand name for the region's coffees. Two less well-known locations are Mamasa to the west and Gowa to the south of Kalosi.
Coffee production in the region can be unorganized, as many smallholders grow coffee for supplemental income, concentrating their efforts on other crops.
PAPUA
Located in the most eastern part of Indonesia, Papua offers a refined and elegant coffee taste. Coffee production on this exotic island dates back to when the first Blue Mountain coffee seeds were planted. Since then, coffee has been cultivated, producing high-quality beans.
