Sulawesi Toraja Sapan Minanga Tana Toraja Sulawesi:Toraja Sapan Minanga, Tana Toraja

Roasted medium. This coffee tastes like no other to us! If you want an intense flavor that ends with a dose of hot chocolate, here is the best coffee you will ever drink!

Sulawesi beans did take some extra time to reach the perfect temperature. With my new roaster I have been able to go with a setting of 230 Degrees and 38 minutes, but these I had to sit and watch after I did my test batch. At 38 minutes they still had not hit the second crack and had to go an additional 6 minutes to reach it and then found that they were good but not perfect. The final conclusion was 48 minutes at 230 and I got the rich excellent flavor I was looking for. It was chocolaty with a slight sweet and fruity overtone. Very velvety and aromatic. No bitter after taste.

Tried this on a whim for the wife and was blown away by how good it was. Used the SR500 with a temp probe and roasted on low to 315 then medium to 400 and then on high to 458. Cooled down and poured onto a pizza pan and into the freezer for a few seconds. Bagged it, tagged it, very light oils showed up after a few days. I drink cup after cup after cup and can't get enough. FC happened from 401~420 and SC started around 455. I let it get into SC for a few seconds. Can't wait to roast batch number 2 and order some more.

(reviewing as a city roast) Can a bean be both light and bright, and earthy at the same time? I would have thought that an impossible contradiction until I tried these beans. Low acid, but what little acid is there lends to a tobacco undertone. There's the hints of buttery cocoa, but more like baking chocolate. A hint of caramel sweetness on the back end too, but still earthy forward. But with all these "dark" flavor profiles, it's overall impression is indeed something like cedar. A very unique bean in both flavor and process; it seems to take a little longer to mature. Mine reached peak almost 3 weeks after roasting. [250g Roasted on a Gene Cafe, preheated, slowed to 444 temp for browning, 482 until first crack, one min at 472 for expansion, about 11 min total. Fairly light, only 10% moisture loss.]

Good stuff! I am a fry pan roaster and have worked thru many errors learning how to roast for peak flavor. The trick seems to be to stop roasting after the first crack. About 7 minutes with the pan at temp of 473* using a laser thermometer. A little high in temp is better than a little low for a constant crack. Do not let the temp get too high or you will burn the beans. When the crack slows, take the pan off the heat and cool quickly to stop the roast. Colander over a fan. I also use a propane fish cooker for heat.

My favorite coffee I can afford. Mellow and yet very rich in flavor. No bitterness. Love it. I have a friend who lives in Jakarta. He was coming for a visit and I asked him to bring some Sulawesi. I had been drinking Kalossi which is also a Sulawesi, but never had Toraja before. I was overjoyed with the Toraja. Wow! My favorite coffee I can't afford is Yemen khulani natural. Double Wow!

This is a very good bean at City roast. Probably my favorite bean so far. I like it slightly more than the Kalossi, as it has a more chocolate/caramel profile.

I absolutely love this coffee. Light roast just after the crack. It’s truly a delicious coffee & my go-to for an every day & special occasions. I’ve tried other peaberry coffees, but this by far exceeds them all in flavor.

I’ve used Sulawesi in several blends with outstanding results, the latest blended with equal parts of Costa Rican Tarrazu and the Sulawesi Toraja. Roasted to about 30 seconds past the first crack, the spicy quality of the Sulawesi and the chocolate/fruity notes of the Costa Rican coffee blend superbly. The coffee gassed out in two days. I use an OXO pour over to get optimal results.

Got this one as part of a sampler pack and did a medium roast as that's our normal roast preference. We understand why it's called a "sleeper" on the site; made in a moka pot and as pour over, we're hooked at first cup. It's got a chocolatey, nutty smoothness that makes for pleasant drinking.

Sulawesi Toraja has been a long time favorite. Roasted at between City and City+ This ranks among the world’s finest coffee’s. The Coffee Bean Coral was quick to ship and everything was beautifully packaged. Thank you!

Excellent on its own with a nutty, honey-like mildness, I’ve used the Sulawesi as a blending bean with a Guatemalan and Nicaraguan beans that produce fine coffees with unique depth and smoothness.

Got a sample of this on my Halloween surprise same pack. Roasted it yesterday up until right before 2nd crack. I have never had a bean that I could ever taste tobacco in, but it shines through in this one. It’s not overpowering but you can tell it’s there, a slight vanilla tobacco. It’s not something that I would have initially bought on my own, but since it came in the sample pack I gave it a shot, and it may be one of my new favorites.

This coffee has jumped up into my top 10 list. Will definitely become a regular on my shopping list.

At this house we like light roasts, yielding 86% or so of the starting weight. These beans delivered, with a very even bean-to-bean color suggesting they were all fully ripe when picked. The really low chaff also speaks to quality processing. Top notch for taste of course but don’t look to me for cupping accolades because of all my additions: sweetener and milk.

Sulawesi is & has been my Go To coffee & CBC has done a great job in obtaining a fantastic crop! I air roast mine medium at 425F for about 16min to a nice chocolate brown which brings out the sweet, medium body I have come love about this varietal. I purchased 10# & then another 25# before the 1st shipment arrived. It will make a great gift to my coffee loving family this holiday season.
