Flores Arabica green beans are cultivated in the volcanic highlands of East Nusa Tenggara, particularly in regions like Bajawa and Manggarai. Grown at altitudes between 1,200 and 1,800 meters above sea level, these beans benefit from rich volcanic soil, a cool climate, and sustainable agroforestry practices. Flores Arabica is known for its full body, low to medium acidity, and unique flavor profile—often featuring notes of dark chocolate, toasted almonds, mild spice, and hints of floral or tropical fruit. Most beans are processed using the traditional wet-hulled (giling basah) method, though some producers are beginning to explore washed and honey methods to further refine cup clarity. With strong community-based farming and a commitment to organic practices, Flores is steadily gaining attention in the specialty coffee scene as a source of distinctive and traceable Arabica.
