Indonesia Frinsa Borbor

Coffee Story

Wildan along with his wife Atieq started their first coffee project in Sindangkerta, Weninggalih area in West Java back in 2010. 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 specialty, Wildan is focusing on the fully washed. Through a cooperation with the coffee research centre they have been planting a lot of other different unknown cultivars, all separated by blocks at the farm.

Region & Farm

Region

West Java is a unique coffee growing region within Indonesia. Coffee is cultivated on government-managed forest land, allocated to farmers as a tool to prevent deforestation. It is common to see coffee growing under pine and eucalyptus trees, creating a distinctive microclimate that supports biodiversity and slow cherry maturation.

Farm

Frinsa Estate is situated in West Java, known locally as Sunda with a wet mill, storage space, and dry mill, all located at an altitude of 1400 masl. Frinsa Estate has six main growing plots spread out in the area. Apart from those, they buy cherries from a few selected outgrowers in the surroundings generally separated by area.

Processing & Flavor

All processing takes place directly at Frinsa Estate, allowing full control from harvest to shipment. The cherries are first washed and the floaters are removed. The cherries then get pulped and fermented for the next 12-14 hours without any additives. The parchment is then dried on tarpaulin on the concrete patio anywhere between 14 - 22 days, depending on weather conditions.

The Taste Idea

" Coffees from Frinsa Farm have long been part of our regular offering, and this year is no exception. This time, we decided to try a single-variety washed Borbor. The coffee stood out to us for its pronounced sweetness and delicate herbal notes. Our intention was to preserve these characteristics while adding something extra. The result is an intriguing combination of cherry-like acidity, sweetness reminiscent of grape sugar and chocolate, texture evoking cherry liqueur, all complemented by subtle herbal tones and a caramel finish.
