Jan 03rd, 2009: Kopi Mawar Singaraja Visit

January 3rd, 2009. Early morning, we are heading to the coffee plantation in Bali. The area is called Singaraja. The distant is about 3 hrs drive from Denpasar.
Once we reach there, we went to on of the traditional coffee roaster, called "Kopi Mawar". This "Kopi Mawar" is known by the local people for the finest traditional local coffee taste. The roasting process is very traditional and they mixed the bean between Arabica and Robusta.



For this Kopi Mawar, they buy the green bean from the plantation which delivered to them daily. Because this is a home roaster, it only can roast up to 40kgs daily and sold out daily. After the roasting, some of the buyer is local traditional coffee shop. They always sell the fresh grind coffee powder. This is traditional coffee seller.




















We also bought some of the roasted bean and green bean from "Kopi Mawar" for tasting purpose and our traditional coffee research. The result of the tasting and roasting will posted on the next blog.
