Celebes
The island of Sulawesi,
formerly Celebes, spreads like a four-fingered hand in the middle of the Malay
Archipelago. The Celebes coffee most likely to be found in specialty stores
today is Toraja, from the mountainous area near the center of the island, in
the palm of that hand. Celebes Toraja is a splendid coffee very similar to the
best Sumatran coffees, though perhaps a little less rich and full-bodied, and a
bit more acidy and vibrant in the upper tones. Like Sumatran, it is arguably
one of the world's finest coffees. |

India Monsoon
Monsooned Mysore coffees have
been exposed for several weeks to the moist winds of the monsoon, which yellows
the bean and reduces the acidity, imparting a heavy, syrupy flatness
reminiscent of aged coffees. Monsooned coffees are considered a delicacy by
many, perhaps because of the romance of the name and the process.

Java Estate
Java shares the low-toned
richness of the other Indonesian coffees, but tends to have greater acidity,
a bit lighter in body, and quicker to finish. Lurking in the acidity is a
slight smoky or spicy twist. |

Sumatra
Sumatra is noted for its
richness, full body, long finish, and an acidity that, though pronounced, is
gentle and enveloped in the complexity of the coffee. |
