Rest Coffee Blawan, Indonesia

A coffee with history, character and depth: Rast Blawan coffee from Indonesia takes you straight to the lush forests and volcanic landscapes of Java. With its syrupy body, mild acidity and notes of bittersweet chocolate, it gives you an intense moment of pleasure - whether as a strong espresso or a balanced café crème.

Blawan has a complex flavour with hints of black tea, liquorice and chocolate. Its aroma is reminiscent of marzipan and fresh bread, giving it a warm, inviting flavour. The low acidity makes the coffee particularly round and pleasant, while the full body carries the flavours on the palate for a long time.

This single origin unfolds particularly well as a café crème, where its complexity comes into balance. As an espresso, it has a strong, chocolaty profile with a slight spiciness. It is only suitable for filter preparation to a limited extent, as it reveals fewer nuances here. Whether in a portafilter machine or a fully automatic machine, Blawan is easy to handle and ensures consistently high quality.

Blawan comes from the traditional Blawan settlements on Java. Local families have been growing Arabica coffee there for generations at altitudes of between 800 and 1,300 metres. With careful care, unique pruning methods for the coffee trees and fertile, mineral-rich soils, they create the best conditions for this special coffee. The knowledge of cultivation has been passed down through generations and still characterises the Blawan today.

Rast Blawan coffee is a single origin Arabica consisting of the Catimor, Linie-S and USDA varieties. It is processed using the wet-polished method, which gives the coffee its clean, clear cup. The harvest takes place from April to June 2024 and guarantees maximum freshness. With its origins in one of the oldest and most renowned coffee regions in Indonesia, Blawan not only offers enjoyment, but also an insight into the rich coffee tradition of Java.
