ABOUT THIS COFFEE

This coffee is sourced from family owned farms located in the Kintamani highlands on the island province of Bali, Indonesia.  Coffee is grown in the volcanic soils of Mount Agung along with citrus trees that provide shade and another source of income.  Coffee production is typically organized around a Subak Abian, which refers to the ecologically sustainable irrigation systems developed more than 1,000 years ago by Hindu priests who practice Tri Hita Karana (the three sources of prosperity), a philosophy focused on the harmonization between the environment, humans and God.  Coffee has been processed using a natural method to address an issue of water scarcity and the results have been exceptional.  It was an easy step to drying whole ripe cherry given that raised beds were already used for drying parchment.

    I first tried Modest coffee (the Collector) at the Farmers Market in Naperville and just loved the taste. So excited that I can continue to enjoy it in the fall and winter months as well! Great taste and flavor with mild citrusy undertones!

    This coffee is so delicious, hot and cold! When I received the first bag, I noticed the roast date was only a few days before! I have never had coffee so fresh! I grind it and brew it in a french press. I make it extra strong and keep the brewed coffee in the refrigerator. I use this extra strong coffee to make lattes and iced coffees.I have never tasted coffee with a flavor so tasty and fresh. I want to drink it all day.

    Just like Suzanne said, it’s pretty wonderful to get coffee that has been literally roasted just a few days at most.

    Excellent quality. I always like a good light roast, and have been getting pickier over the years. I ordered online, came reliably, tastes great.

    I’ve been subscribed to “The Collector” for over 6 years now. It’s an incredible value. I originally subscribed because quality light roasts were rather difficult to find. I always enjoy the way Modest roasts their beans, and this subscription changes as they source new product. Being single origin and lightly roasted means there are always subtle flavors to suss out. Some roasts are perfectly smooth, others are presently different. It keeps coffee interesting with almost no effort on my part. A bag just shows up in my mailbox and I start brewing.

    In 6 years, with well over 100 bags of coffee delivered between various subscriptions, I’ve had a single shipment issue and was dealt with swiftly by excellent customer service. I recommend Modest to anyone that likes coffee and I recommend this subscription in particular if you’re fond of interesting single origin light roasts.
