Product overview
Sourced from cooperatives in the Aceh and North Sumatra highlands, these fermented beans show a brighter, fruit-leaning profile. Each lot is cut-tested, moisture-checked, and packed in new jute bags. A strong choice for processors blending origin character into couverture and single-origin bars.
Quality and processing
Highland-grown beans from Aceh and North Sumatra are fermented in wooden boxes for five days and dried on raised beds under close moisture control. Lots are graded to house Grade A standards (SNI size class B, quality grade I): cut-tested for fermentation level, screened for bean count, and checked for insect damage and mould before bagging.
Applications and buyers
The brighter acidity and red-fruit notes make this lot a favourite for single-origin bars and for blending origin character into couverture. Processors use it to lift flavour in blends without giving up the body expected from Indonesian beans.
Packing, MOQ and shipping
Shipped in new jute bags from Belawan or Makassar under FOB, CFR, or CIF terms. Minimum order is one 20 ft container (about 13 MT); mixed-origin containers combining our Sulawesi lots can be arranged for trial programs.
Frequently asked questions
Ordering, samples, shipping, and payment, answered by our export desk.
What is your minimum order quantity?
For fermented grades the minimum is one 20 ft container (about 13 MT). For unfermented Sulawesi and Java beans we can arrange partial loads from 5 MT, and LCL trial lots are available for qualified first-time buyers, subject to consolidation schedules.
Do you provide samples before ordering?
Yes. We courier 500 g – 2 kg samples of current lots, including cut-test photos and moisture readings. Sample costs are credited against your first order.
Which ports and incoterms do you work with?
We ship from Makassar and Surabaya under FOB, CFR, or CIF terms to most major ports. Every shipment includes phytosanitary certificate, fumigation certificate, certificate of origin, and full loading documentation.
What payment terms do you accept?
Standard terms are 30% advance with order confirmation and 70% against copy of bill of lading. Irrevocable LC at sight is accepted for established buyers and larger contracts.
Which certifications can you supply?
Selected lots carry Rainforest Alliance, Organic, Fairtrade, and Halal (BPJPH) certification. Our Makassar processing and export warehousing facility operates under ISO 22000 and HACCP. Certification availability is listed on each product page.
Can you provide third-party inspection and laboratory COAs?
Yes. We can arrange SGS or equivalent pre-shipment inspection at the loading port, and ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory certificates covering moisture, bean count, cut-test appearance, and microbiology on request. Inspection costs are quoted separately and agreed before booking.
Can you run a custom fermentation programme?
Yes, for wholesale buyers. We box-ferment against a written protocol (day count, turning schedule, target cut-test, drying moisture) booked on a named cooperative harvest, starting at one 20 ft container (about 13 MT). Trial containers are available before a season contract. This is a container programme, not single-bag or micro-lot supply.
Do you offer OEM or private-label packing?
Yes. On recurring wholesale contracts we stencil buyer marks, print custom lot codes, and issue packing lists to your bag-mark requirements while keeping our legal entity on the commercial invoice unless otherwise agreed. Minimums stay at our standard wholesale floors. Send artwork and language requirements with your quote request; programme details are on the services page.
