Bali Beans

We, the Sudana family, have been growing coffee since 1985 on our organic plantations located in the famous coffee growing region of the Kintamani Highlands, North East Bali, Indonesia. This is the primary coffee growing area of the island due to the altitude being between 3,200 and 3,900 ft, coupled with the excellent weather and volcanic soil conditions. Premium arabica coffee plants thrive in this environment and have been providing plentiful harvests every year to our family, along with a collection of fellow local farmers organised into a traditional group called “Subak Abian”. 

In Bali these groups historically have acted as rural cooperatives, combining resources plus knowledge to help each other throughout the operational farm management and post-harvest processes. Our Subak Abian remains traditional in its beliefs and by acting as one community, it greatly helps to facilitate the sale of coffee.

Over the years, we have worked hard to educate fellow farmers in our Subak Abian to move away from commodity coffee production into higher quality more sustainable speciality coffee production. This involves less intensive farming practices which are better for the environment and healthier for the farmers plus the community as a whole
