Making Balinese coffee is a unique process. It sets itself apart from the rest of Indonesia by using a different technique in coffee making, named the ‘wet-hulled processing method’. Here, the coffee cherries' outer shell is removed, and the beans are fermented before being cleaned and dried. This method produces a lighter and more high-tone taste. You will be able to tell it apart from other Indonesian islands like Java and Sumatra. However certain elements retained here are quite similar to the fruity characteristics of Timor and Flores.
