Bali Blue Moon is a jewel among the Indonesian coffees due its overwhelmingly rich, syrupy dark chocolate notes, a pleasant creamy mouthfeel, and a spiced finish. The stunning cup qualities of this fine organically grown Indonesian coffee happen ‘once in a blue moon’.

In Indonesia lies a hidden Jewel, the island of Bali. After a devastating volcano blast in 1963, the Balinese government revitalized their coffee agriculture economy by helping farmer replant their coffee seed stock in an island-wide campaign. Coffee tree varieties that were planted include Bourbon and Typica, along with shade trees such as Erythrina, Albizia, Tangerine, and Orange. Today coffee is grown on over 7,000 hectares of organic coffee growing farmland on the island of Bali, Indonesia. The use of pesticides and chemicals are illegal on the Bali coffee crops, which are organically grown using 100% organic fertilizers. Improved coffee growing practices have only increased the worth of the remarkable Bali Blue Moon coffees which play an important role in the nationwide Bali economy.
