Frinsa Estate

We find Wildan's coffees to be very unique and different from most other Indonesian coffees. They can be challenging to roast due to the special processing, but managed well they will taste really delicious and unlike anything else.

The goal of this lot was to create an anaerobic profile but clean it up with more brightness and transparency and make it a bit less wild with a more "sophisticated" funk. That definitely worked out! Expect a distinctive red wine-like profile with brown spice, vanilla, and medium funk.

Processing: Anaerobic Washed fermentation.
With lactobacillus added into the vessel while the cherry ferments for 4 days anaerobically. After that it's depulped then the parchment is fermented for 12-14h to remove the mucilage and finished as a washed coffee.

Wildan Mustofa and his wife Atieq Mustikaningtyas started their first coffee project in Sindangkerta, Weninggalih area in 2010. This later became the main growing area at his farm Java Frinsa Estate. Since the first year of production, Wildan has aimed to focus on quality which requires meticulous attention and processes. While the majority of Indonesian producers are doing the wet-hulled coffees, even for speciality, Wildan is focusing on the fully washed. Besides the quality and social and economic impact for the community, we believe the coffee project also has long-term benefits for water conservation and reforestation.

Frinsa Estate is located in West Java, locally called Sunda. They have a wet mill as well as a well-ventilated storage space and a dry mill. All are located at 1400 masl altitude. This means they are in full control of their product from harvest to grading, sorting, and shipment.
