In the middle of the Balinese mountains, between two sacred volcanoes, lies the Kintamani region - the birthplace of the Karana community, a coffee with a story. It is grown here by 377 small farmers who believe that agriculture should be in balance with nature, people and spirituality. And that's exactly what their coffee is - honest, vibrant and full of character.
Coffee trees in Kintamani grow in volcanic soil, at an altitude of around 1,200 metres above sea level. Two varieties of Arabica are grown here - S795 and Kartika. The former is reliable and hardy, while the latter is more demanding but delivers a smoother, more elegant taste. Their combination creates a balanced and complex flavour profile with notes of fruit, spice, honey or cocoa - depending on the particular processing method.
This is where Karana is exceptional: the farmers here masterfully work with a variety of techniques - from classic washing, to natural and honey processing, to modern anaerobic fermentation. The result is a coffee with a rich flavour spectrum that takes you on a journey through the tropical landscape of Bali.
Karana is deeply rooted in the local culture. Farmers farm organically, make their own compost, use no chemicals and plant trees in the fields for natural shade. In addition to coffee, oranges, vegetables and herbs also grow here, contributing to biodiversity and healthy soil.
A new cooperative mill, funded by donations, gives them the opportunity to process their crops more efficiently and with greater care. In addition, a portion of each bale sold goes back into the community - to projects of the farmers' choosing.
Coffee has been grown in Bali since the 17th century. Although it was once almost destroyed by coffee rust, the island has regained its footing thanks to more resistant varieties. Today, Bali is known not only as a tourist paradise, but also as the home of coffee, a product of labour, faith and nature.
Local farmers live by the philosophy of Tri Hita Karan, which states that true happiness comes from a balance between man, nature and spirituality. And it is this balance that can be felt in every cup of Karana coffee.
