From the Indonesian island previously known as Celebes, Kalossi is actually the Dutch word for the island, predating Toraja as a name for this coffee. The Kalossi is an outstanding cup for those who like a full-bodied, aromatic, wild and spicy, highly-complex brew, and a little funkier than the Toraja. You will be able to smell the earthy nuttiness of the freshly-brewed coffee from 100 feet away - no joke. Equally good for jump-starting your day or washing away the unpleasantries of those bad days we all have.

The Toraja is a cleaner, slightly brighter cup than the Kalossi. Compared to the Toraja, the Kalossi picks up some additional earthy character from the additional chaff.

Shade grown coffee from the Indonesian island previously known as Celebes. This Toraja coffee is the "sleeper" on this site, and our personal favorite.

Brilliant acidity, a medium body, and sweet flavors of orange citrus, caramelized sugar, and fine chocolate. It is impeccably balanced with a long, satisfying finish

Aged outside in monsoon season. Akin to dry wine, earthy, pronounced nuttiness, with a tea-like flavor.

This particular coffee is what got me into home-roasting 18 years ago. I really love Sulawesi coffees in general, but the Kalossi varital has always been my favorite. But, is has been hard to source for many years from green bean suppliers I've used. Coffee Bean Corral has it and that has led me to ordering this along with several other harder to source coffees they carry. I'm not one of those people that can identify a dozen different flavors from a coffee. But I know what I like and this coffee is one of my all time favorites drum-roasted to just the first few snaps of 2nd C. Kalossi has a very smooth depth that is not too earthy as some Sulawesi's can be. I use this as a single-origin and in my blends too. Thanks to the folks here at CBC, I'm reunited with Kalossi again.

This is my favorite green bean available on your site! I roast it to the first crack for the best flavor and smell. It's an awesome bean for either an espresso or a French press cup of coffee!

I'm totally new to roasting. Totally new to how good a cup of coffee can be. But all my friends that I've served this coffee to have loved it and I see no reason to disagree with them.

You definitely have to hit the sweet spot when roasting this bean. City roast seems to be where the nuttiness and sweetness shine. Do not go into second crack with this one.
