Bajawa Nanolot - Loka Tua
In the heart of the volcanic highlands of Bajawa, among the tropical forests of Flores and the slopes of Mount Ebulobo, LOKA TUA is born: a coffee that embodies the most traditional, profound, and authentic side of Indonesia.
Produced together with JYN Coffee, a local partner committed to supporting and empowering the farming communities of Bajawa, this lot comes to life at elevations between 1200 and 1500 MASL, within an environment where volcanic soil, dense forests, and a tropical climate contribute to creating an intense and highly distinctive sensory profile.
The cherries are handpicked only at peak ripeness, following the natural pace of the plant and undergoing a rigorous daily selection directly at harvest.
Behind every lot lies the work of local farming families, deep respect for the land, and a production philosophy built on patience, precision, and craftsmanship.
LOKA TUA is not simply the result of a fermentation process.
It is the meeting point between local culture, Indonesian tradition, and contemporary coffee research.

More Info
LOKA TUA is processed through an Anaerobic Wet Hulled method with inoculated fermentation.
After a careful manual selection of ripe cherries, the coffee undergoes controlled anaerobic fermentation using selected yeasts, guiding the aromatic development with precision and clarity.
Once fermentation is completed, the lot continues through the traditional Indonesian Wet Hulled process, an iconic method that contributes to the characteristic body and sensory depth of Flores coffees.
The following drying and resting phases allow the aromatic profile to stabilize and harmonize slowly, resulting in a cup that is intense, complex, and deeply connected to its origin.
LOKA TUA represents a contemporary reinterpretation of classic Indonesian coffee: local tradition, modern fermentation techniques, and outstanding production precision serving the identity of Flores.
