What is Bali Blue Moon Coffee?
Bali Blue Moon Coffee is a specialty coffee grown on the Indonesian island of Bali. It is known for its smooth body, chocolate and vanilla notes, and low acidity, produced from organically cultivated Arabica beans. The name "Bali Blue Moon" comes from the distinctive bluish-green color of the coffee beans, a result of the wet-hulling process used. This process, called Giling Basah in Indonesian, contributes to the coffee's unique flavor profile. Bali Blue Moon coffee is sometimes referred to simply as "Blue Moon" coffee or "Bali Krishna" coffee.
Colipse's Bali Blue Moon coffee beans are grown on the fertile volcanic slopes of Mount Agung, in a tropical climate ideal for coffee cultivation, with temperatures ranging from 24°C to 32°C, humidity around 80%, and annual precipitation of 949.5 mm. These Kintamani Bali coffee beans, also known as Bali Blue Krishna, are cultivated on 14,000 hectares by 6,000 farming families organized into "Subak Abian" groups. The beans are handpicked and processed using the unique "Giling Basah" (wet-hulling) method. This method involves depulping the coffee cherries, briefly fermenting them, and then partially drying them before hulling. This distinctive process contributes to the unique flavor profile of Colipse's Bali Blue Moon. To fully experience the spectrum of its aroma, flavor, aftertaste, acidity, sweetness, and mouthfeel, we recommend brewing Bali Blue Moon using immersion methods or under high pressure.
