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

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.

This is a must try for anyone wanting to expand their experience. A unique taste. I found it very fruity with hints of orange. I did not get any bitterness, in fact very clean taste. I roasted in a SR540. I dried at medium heat for two minutes then roasted for about eight minutes just into second crack.

Dave Cummings At a City roast,it reminded me of a store bought Kona. My wife and friends liked it that way but I prefer something with more body and and earthy. I didn’t taste any of the chocolate or vanilla bean flavors. I intend to try it at darker roast and also use it as a blend. Maybe that will bring it out. All in all, a good coffee. Roasted on a K2+ Hoptop. 250g. 1stC at 10:22 (361F), 1Ce at 11:46 (379F) dropped 12:16 (390). Came out as City Roast. Let it rest two days Ground course with a Hario Conical Burr Grinder. Brewed in AeroPress with 15 grams (two sccops) and 8-grams in a single-serve Mr Coffee pour-over

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.

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

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.

Absolutely astounding coffee! I roast it light just into 1st crack. Has a lot of fruity overtones which is what I like. I mainly do pourovers but have also tried it in a French Press which brings out a more bold full bodied cup. I'm sure it would make a great espresso shot as well.

I was skeptical to try this one but this coffee is 5 star all the way! I roast it dark, about 2-3 minutes after second crack and it is superb! A darker roast on this one will give you a fruit-forward juicy cup of coffee coupled with the depth and body of a good dark roast. The best of both worlds here! So glad CBC offers this one.

Always on time and always a great presentation. Thanks guys for keeping it both professional and classy. I love blue moon so much that I put it in a porter recipe it's always a crowd pleaser no matter how I serve it. Next will be in cold brew nitro form. Thanks again.

Bali and Harare blend into a delightful morning coffee. Grind and brew immediately and you'll have a start to your day you won't forget.

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!

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.

Rich heavy body, smooth chocolate and nut flavor when roasted to a satiny dark brown color. No bitterness just deep coffee essence. Very even roast, very little chaff. Just ordering 5 lbs more! I usually order Yemeni coffees, but this Bali is super!

Best coffee I've ever roasted, out of about 20 types. Complex, deep, funky, foresty, rich, wild. Incredible breadth of flavor, focused on the bass notes. Limited acidity (no biting lemon), which I prefer. Roasted slightly into second crack.

One of the best beans offered. Certainly worth a try. As several have commented, a full city roast profile is quite nice, bringing out the full flavor profile. Guaranteed to be a hit with guests, both smell while brewing and taste. I prefer French Press, however this bean performs well in both filtered and non filtered scenarios.

Bali organic Blue Moon is our go to bean. We do like to mix with a Tarazzu bean. Not harsh at all, smooth and makes you want to drink more!

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.

Very good coffee.

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'.

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!

One I'd stock up on! Deserves full city + and 3 days of rest for best flavor. My test is how it is when it's cooled off. Sweet, rich, bold, lots of flavor. I'll try it as espresso.

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!

I didn't believe the reviews about the profile, but after running it a few times, I have to agree. Sluggish to come to GTY and literally had to run this until I was getting outliers from 2nd Crack before it was resolving to a balanced cup. Flavor profile is unique and that is a subjective experience. If you enjoy Indonesian coffees, it's worth a try, but you DO have to get it near 2nd crack to get a result similar to what you might get from running most other beans around 1C +2:30-3:00!

This is my favorite coffee. Strong and starts my mornings off right.

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!

This is my go to coffee bean. I've only been roasting for a little over a year but this bean is perfect just into the second crack. I have tried a lot of sampler packs from Coffee Bean Corral and have had a lot of great experiences but this is still my go to!

I apparently love this coffee even more than I thought. I try to rotate purchases through various varieties. This time I purchased it because of how much I like it - forgetting I still had 1/2 lb. on hand. I'll be drinking this a lot, but it's a 'good thing'.

Pretty good. I think I will try a bit darker roast...normally, I try to roast as light as possible. For some beans that just won’t work and this is one of them. I believe the Bali has great potential.

Rich dark and musky when roasted well past the second crack. This is a serious bottom note in building your flavor triad. I like to pair it with the Dominican Red Honey Process for the middle note.

I purchased the Sample Pack of Bali Blue Moon beans, and quite frankly I’ve been disappointed. The first roast was about one minute after the first; the second I let go until I heard the second crack. The reports of tasting chocolate, berries, and other nuanced fruits didn’t show up all. What I did taste was light cardboard (yes...I washed my paper filter and rinsed my metal filter), earthy tobacco, and slight vanilla. I aged the roasted beans for 5-7 days. Using a Fresh Roast 500, the Bali beans took somewhat longer to roast than other beans.

This is one of the nicest, perhaps the best, Indonesian beans I've ever tried. It has this earth and spice, but in a sophisticated way. Made a very nice espresso when blended 50/50 with Brazil Blue Daterra.

This is our household go to coffee While I enjoy a good Kona I don’t enjoy the price, so I run to Bali blue moon when ever it is in stock usually buying 10-20 lbs to make sure I have enough! Great flavor and aroma

This is a very unique coffee. It has some of that Sumatran flavor but it does not overwhelm it. The beans themselves are smallish and dark - not sure if it is dry processed. It absolutely has nice berry hints in it as the previous reviewer said which might indicate dry processing. And if you like a full bodied chocolaty coffee you will like this. Bottom line is if you are looking for something different this fits the bill.

I struggle with the taste. I have not roaster darker than 1c but I am going to drop the next roast into 2c. Aeropress produced a sour note to finish. Used a pour over and the sour note was gone but has a stronger fruity taste than I expected. I have found I prefer Central & South American coffees. The been itself was fresh & had no defects.

Rich and Balanced, City roast is what I like to have.

one of my favorite coffies. Pure and simple full second crack , let it rest. i wonder what it would be like monsooned (sp?)

I would love to try this coffee.

Has become a favorite. Smooth and chocolaty.

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.
