The Best Single-Origin Beans for Home Brewing Bali Blue — Indonesia
Roast: Medium-dark Tasting notes: Dark chocolate, molasses, brown sugar Best for: French press, Moka pot, espresso
Grown by smallholder farmers in the volcanic highlands of Kintamani, Bali, at elevations between 1,200 and 1,600 meters, Bali Blue is one of the most distinctive Indonesian coffees you can buy. The wet-hulled processing method — traditional to the region — gives it an earthy, full-bodied character that lighter roasting methods simply can't replicate.
It's an ideal choice for home brewers who like a heavy, rich cup with natural sweetness. In a French press, the body is almost syrupy. In a Moka pot, it punches with a dark chocolate intensity that rivals any espresso bar shot.
