Indonesia - Java - Sunda - G1 - Radiophare K. Beans - SW

Sourced from the Puntang area within the Sunda terroir in West Java, this coffee is a blend of Typica, Line S, and Catimor.

This coffee is cultivated exclusively under the shade of various tree species (pines, eucalyptus, erythrinas, avocado trees). It is processed using the semi-washed method by the Klasik Beans cooperative, which also operates on the islands of Bali, Java, Sunda, Flores, and Sulawesi.

Founded in 2008 by a group of producers in Puntang, the Klasik Beans cooperative shares a complementary philosophy with Belco, focusing on quality, human well-being, and environmental respect.

Nestled between high-altitude forests and rice paddies, the plantations spread across the Guntur, Halimu Tilu, and Puntang volcanoes. At each harvest, coffee cherries are hand-picked and transported to one of the cooperative's three cherry processing sites (Pacet, Ciwidey, or Garut). The cooperative works with over 200 producers.

Indonesia, a country as large as Europe, spans over 5,000 km from East to West. The immense richness of its terroirs and the wide variety of processing methods make this origin an exceptional one, offering an extremely rich diversity of cup profiles. Within this great diversity, we are fortunate to partner with the Klasik Beans cooperative. A pioneer in specialty coffee production, this cooperative approaches the world of coffee with philosophy, guided by the vision of its founder, Eko. The philosophy of Klasik Beans is to empower farmers to produce high-quality coffees while honoring "Man-Man", "Man-Environment", and "Man-Ancestral Tradition" relationships. Added to this is a seamless organization, technological knowledge, and agricultural and processing skills, all shared across the entire community.

A Belco partner since 2016, Klasik Beans builds a long-term relationship with us based on a shared vision of coffee. Discover our dedicated article and Eko's interview to learn more about the cooperative and its approach.
