Flores Laga Lizu

This coffee is available as Drip profile only.

The Bajawa highland area is one of the most renowned coffee growing regions on the island of Flores, and is home to an ethnic group of the same name for whom the plant is an integral part of daily life and local culture. Most households are smallholders, cultivating less than one hectare of farmland, and utilize organic farming practices by default.

Laga Lizu translates to “above the clouds” in the Bajawa language, and refers to the ever-present mist and clouds that shroud the high-elevation area, which along with the fertile volcanic soil forms the foundation for highly complex and nuanced coffees. 

In the cup, look for notes of hibiscus, brown sugar, sarsaparilla.
