Mount Panderman Arabica Coffee – Single Origin Java, Indonesia

Arabica Panderman Coffee is an Indonesian specialty coffee grown on the slopes of Mount Panderman in the Batu City Tourism Area, East Java. The cool climate and ideal altitude of this volcanic region create a micro-environment perfect for cultivating high-quality Arabica beans.

Key Characteristics:

• Origin: The coffee is cultivated on the high, cool slopes of Mount Panderman, benefiting from rich volcanic soil that gives the beans a distinct profile.

• Unique Variety: One noteworthy variety found in this region is the rare Yellow Caturra.

  • Appearance: Unlike most coffee cherries that ripen red, the Yellow Caturra fruit turns a bright yellow when ready for harvest.

  • Flavor Profile: This variety is known for its bright, crisp acidity (often with citrus notes like lemon) and a medium, smooth body. Some local processors note a unique blend of typical Arabica acidity with a body that leans toward Robusta, making it an exceptional find.

• General Flavor Notes (Javanese Arabica Heritage): Reflecting its Javanese heritage, Panderman Arabica generally offers high complexity with moderate acidity and body, often featuring aromatic notes of chocolate, nuts, or herbs.

• Status: Arabica Panderman is a local commodity that is actively being developed and promoted by local farmer groups (such as the Margo Joyo Farmers Group). The goal is to strengthen its brand identity and secure a wider market presence, celebrating it as one of East Java's unique coffee treasures.
