Description
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 mean it’s blueberry. Blueberry, so hot right now!
Modest just continues to knock it right out of the park. If you’re a mild coffee fan buy 2. You’ll thank yourself later!
Thanks for the abundant trips to flavor country!

I just recently received my 5lb bag of this coffee. LET ME SAY I am NEVER disappointed in any coffee from Modest. In my humble opinion this coffee is superior to any coffee you will ever have. Needless to say I am obsessed and a forever customer of Modest Coffee. They sell their coffee out of Naperville farmers market and that is where the love began. I order a 5lb bag every month or so because I use an espresso machine and serve myself and others in the house this beautiful coffee daily. 5lbs is a great deal and lasts just long enough. I have had many different roasts and origins from them and again…. NEVER disappointed. Love what you guys do. Thank you.

Holy guacamole this is good. Not a hint of sourness or bitterness, perfectly roasted. Even that last cold sip was tasty.
