Bali Organic Blue Moon Kintamani Highlands Bali: Organic Blue Moon, Kintamani Highlands

I'm usually a fan of Ethiopian coffees, but I've fallen in love with Blue Moon Bali. I'll definitely be ordering it again. I like a light to medium roast, so I stopped this one just after first crack. It has a spicy flavor, but is not acidic. Love it.

I had ordered this bean and I was saving it until my Yoshan roaster arrived. After seasoning the drum and doing several roasts of different beans I decided it was time to roast the Bali Blue Moon. I roasted it to a nice point of just turning dark. I am very pleased with the result. I ordered an additional 5 pounds last week!

Bali Blue moon has long been our favorite bean, this batch is still our prime cup of coffee in the morning.

I roasted just now, 3oz of this, In a pan. Because I started with a lower starting temp, it took almost 14min before first crack. I brewed this right away, yeah they say your supposed to rest the coffee, blah blah blah, but the taste is clean, with a little spice. I really love this and will buy again.

Absolutely love this! It's a little splurge but well worth it. Roast until just after 1st crack. Huge favorite of my customers and friends. I think this will be one of my roasts for Christmas this year

This is a new fav. It's more bold in flavor than yirgacheffe and without the traditional coffee bitterness. It is good black however it still yields well to add ins. I roasted it in my Behmor, medium roast.

The beans are a bit more washed than I would like. I have had this before only a couple years back and I remember a larger in appearance and more exotic and deep fruit and chocolate taste. This one was more bright and not much finish to the taste but still makes a decent brew.

Absolutely wonderful coffee universally loved by everyone who I have had try it. Sweet, rich and a bit of a pleasant punch on the back end. The description given above is spot on. Roasted to full city +, I get flavors of milk chocolate, vanilla and a very subtle spice. Very consistent results roasting with not a lot of chaff. Also it is important not to over extract in the brewing process or it could skew your views on this coffee. Make sure your grind is right for your extraction method and the water to coffee ratio is correct.

Roasted to Full City. I got a 13.6% weight loss. Ok, I have never been able to discern individual flavors in coffee. I always feel like it's the Emperor's New Clothes type of thing but I am guessing that's just my inexperience, or maybe lousy taste buds. What I do know is this is the first coffee I have roasted that when making a cappuccino I didn't need/use/want sugar. I can't believe how smooth and tasty it is. I made two different roasts and both came out really good. Hopefully I am finally doing something better with my roasting. I've been roasting a long time but just progressed to an SR800 with extension tube over a stovetop popcorn popper. I am pretty confident that I have been baking my roasts since I moved outside long ago to avoid the smell in the house and wasn't aware the long roasts were affecting my coffee.

Very good coffee.

Roasted Full City just into 2nd crack. Rested 2 days. Aroma of pour over is wonderful but not getting the floral notes, chocolate notes yes. Also, a slight bitter after bite. Not really wowed by this coffee. Maybe need to adjust the roast? Or use less coffee in the pour over. Will continue to sample and try a darker roast as others have said to bring out more flavor.

The “wet hulled” offering to me tastes more like a wet hulled Sumatran…earthy… roasted to 14% wt loss .. Full City. Don’t get the floral note described but wonder if it was for a different process Blue Moon.

Everyone we give/sell this coffee to loves it. It has a lot to offer, very complex. We roast it to a medium around 420°F. Really deep, chocolatey, we taste the anise, vanilla, had some people saying they get hints of blueberry. Either way, great coffee, it’s a regular here!

Outstanding bean! Again, found reviews and cupping notes very helpful in picking this one out to try. Roasted to just the start of 2nd crack. Ended up at about Full City, maybe +. This roast level brought out the full flavor profile without being smoky. No oil on beans three days after roasting. Flavors were dark chocolate, some spiciness on the back end. Not necessarily anise as described in CBC's description. Not heavy spice, really quite pleasant. This coffee has a lot going on. Very complex, bold, but not 'heavy'. This one will be a new addition to the 'lineup'.

This coffee is one of my favorites. Mellow and smooth, with a sweetness about it. To my tastes it has a sweetness about it. An easy and even bean to roast. I like it at an full city roast.

I don't know if it was just the bag we got or if it is typical of this coffee, but it had a strange odor that carried over even after roasting, had an odd back taste that reminded us of something like malted-milk. Definitely not something we'd order again.

My new go-to spring coffee. I sent some to my son and my 15 year old grandson is now HOOKED on this coffee. It's aroma hits me first, the that first taste HOT is sweet and chocolatey and a tiny bite to the tongue. More rich and chocolatey as it cools!

we love this coffee and we get it every time

Very smooth and tastes great with either cream or black. Fantastic bean.

What can I say? If you love the taste of cocoa laced throughout your coffee, don't look any further. This is a very nice coffee! It may even become my very favorite! The taste is so smooth and the overtone of cocoa is incredibly good too! Also it was quick to roast (medium dark), and the beans grind better than any beans I've used in a long, long time. There's very little chaffe as well. I will be ordering this as my daily drink! Thanks CBC!!!!

One of the top coffees I have had the pleasure to make and drink. Truly a unicorn among coffee. Medium dark to dark and the full flavor profile really comes out, but even at a Medium roast its a good flavored coffee. The price is also one of the best I've found for this coffee. I was buying these beans at $10lb or more and was happy to find the price at CBC much easier on the pocket. Still a great cup or four of coffee.

I'm not normally attracted to dark roast bean nor did I think I'd like the indonesia coffee, but it fooled me. I followed the reviews and used my souped up air popper to achieve a glossy 2nd crack roast. I was delighted since I didn't expect it to satisfy my Colombia-oriented taste buds, but I was wrong. This coffee is good! I could drink it every day! I need to order more, but I just placed another order, so I guess I should have tried this bean before ordering. This might be a good bean to try with some blends too, but haven't tried that yet. Try this coffee! It's smooth and satisfying. I'm a new roaster who's just got my popper fine tuned to produce good coffee, so I'm on a new adventure now!

Other reviews have said this needs to be roasted darker and that is the same results that I found. I first roasted at city and although the flavor wasn't bad the acidity was to high. I roasted the second batch at Full City and the result are fantastic.

We love this coffee and agree that the darker roasting brings out the most flavor. It has very little chaff and the flavor is fruity rich and chocolate. Best coffee ever!

i hate reviews, " customer's that is especially mine. FC all but star burnt full 2nd crack SMOKE age 2-3 days , grind , make strong mud an absolute must have for AM.

Unique. Complex. Deep. Rich. Pick your fave adjective and then multiply it by 5! Me and my Hive Roaster found enough flavor notes to last us a lifetime and I'll buy more and more and more and .... ;-)

When you hit that sweet spot right around french roast this is some of the best coffee. It's at the top of my list!
