Tucked in the southern reaches of West Sumatra, Solok Selatan is a hidden gem in Indonesia’s Arabica landscape. With elevations ranging from 1,200 to 1,500 meters above sea level, this highland region is characterized by cool mountain air, fertile volcanic soil, and lush forest cover. Coffee cultivation here is a growing tradition, led by passionate smallholder farmers who are committed to producing beans that reflect the richness of their environment.
Solok Selatan Arabica is prized for its balanced structure and winey character, offering a cup that is both elegant and expressive. The flavor profile features notes of red berries, plum, and subtle florals, supported by medium acidity and a velvety mouthfeel. This makes it an exceptional choice for the Specialty and Middle-Up market segments, including third-wave roasters, single-origin espresso programs, and curated pour-over menus.
Graded as Grade 1, Solok Selatan Arabica meets rigorous standards for bean uniformity, moisture content, and cup clarity. The beans are processed using the full-washed method, which enhances their brightness and preserves the winey complexity. Buyers may request alternative post-harvest methods—such as honey or natural—to explore deeper fruit tones or body variations.
Farmers in Solok Selatan are increasingly organized into cooperatives focused on quality control, traceability, and sustainable farming. Many are adopting agroforestry and organic practices, positioning the region as a rising star in Indonesia’s specialty coffee movement.
