Flores: Wolo Wio

$16.00

This is our first coffee from Flores which is part of our offerings from the Sunda Islands and Oceania region. Wolo Wio is a blend of coffees from five neighboring towns in the Ngada District of Flores. The name basically means "peak" or "hill", which is being used because the five towns - Wolo Wio, Tubu Tana, Watu Ata, Leko Pake, and Wawo Wae - represent some of the higher elevations in this volcanic region (near Wawo Muda, the active volcano and span a range of 1300 to 1550 meters above sea level). They're part of a coordinated effort to unite coffee growers from neighboring villages in a coffee farmers cooperative called Primavera. Primavera operates out of Kampung Wolo Wio ("Kampung" means village more or less), run by a local, Om Leo Suri. Most of the coffees are processed on hand-cranked or motorized depulping machines on the farm, fermented in buckets or small tanks, and then dried on raised drying beds. Because of the nutrient-rich soils, they are able to grow coffee using fully organic farm practices, though they are not certified at this time. This is another beautiful Farm Gate coffee and an excellent choice for espresso.
