Frinsa Manis – Indonesia

Frinsa Manis #1 from the Java Frinsa Estate showcases the sweet, clean character of modern Indonesian coffee. The name Manis means “sweet” in Bahasa, perfectly capturing the approachable and well-balanced nature of this lot. It is processed using the natural method, where carefully selected cherries are dried whole without any additives, resulting in a clean and expressive cup.

This coffee is produced by Wildan Mustofa and his wife Atieq, who founded Java Frinsa Estate in 2010 in West Java. With their own wet mill, dry mill, and climate-controlled storage, they maintain complete quality control from harvest to export. Their focus on meticulous processing sets them apart in a region traditionally dominated by wet-hulled coffees, bringing a fresh, modern approach to Indonesian specialty production.

Frinsa Manis #1 offers a clean, winey profile with tropical fruit, floral tones, and passion-fruit highlights—a result of the diverse mix of local cultivars such as Ateng Super, P88, and Sigarar Utang. Scoring 87 points, this lot delivers a vibrant combination of fruity acidity and gentle sweetness, representing some of the most exciting flavors coming out of Indonesia today.
