This coffee is a signature coffee from Frinsa Collective. Day lots are selected to match a specific profile representative of the Preanger region, and quality premiums are paid to separate these lots. The majority of farmers in this region are smallholders who deliver wet-parchment or wet-hulled green coffee to a central mill operated by Frinsa Collective, where drying and dry milling are completed, and quality control is performed to separate lots that meet this profile.

West Java, famous for the first Dutch coffee plantations, has a tropical monsoon climate and is home to a chain of active and extinct volcanoes known as the Ring of Fire. The heart of western Java is the Priangan Plateau, a highland region home to the Sundanese people. Unlike eastern Java, where coffee is produced on predominantly government-owned estates, coffee producers throughout the west are smallholders who deliver to mills and collection points. The elevation, diverse varieties, and climate make this region a leading producer of high-quality coffee in Java and across much of Indonesia.
