Tucked along the western coastline of Sumatra, Bengkulu is a region blessed with rich volcanic soil, steady rainfall, and elevations between 500 to 900 meters—an environment that nurtures robust Robusta coffee with a distinctive flavor profile. The coffee farms here are cultivated by dedicated smallholder farmers who combine traditional agricultural wisdom with evolving post-harvest techniques to produce beans that reflect the character of their land.
Bengkulu Robusta stands out for its chocolatey and balanced flavor. The cup reveals subtle cocoa notes layered with mild bitterness and a smooth finish, making it an excellent base for blends that require depth without overpowering intensity. This profile is especially favored by industrial roasters looking for a versatile bean that performs well in mass-market products such as instant coffee, canned brews, and espresso blends.
Classified as Grade B, Bengkulu Robusta offers a dependable quality level suitable for high-volume production. The beans are processed using the semi-washed method, which enhances their natural sweetness and reduces acidity, resulting in a cleaner and more balanced cup. Buyers may request alternative processing methods, such as full-washed or natural, to suit specific product needs.
This coffee is targeted primarily at the Industrial segment, where consistency, scalability, and cost-efficiency are key. Bengkulu’s strategic location and established logistics infrastructure also support reliable export operations, making it a practical choice for international buyers.

- Chocolatey, balanced flavor ideal for industrial applications
