Kintamani Coffee Beans 500g

Limited Custom Roast — USA Delivery
Orders are collected in advance so we can freshly roast your coffee just before our flight to the USA on September 23rd. Because we are personally transporting the beans, only a limited quantity is available. This allows us to deliver exceptionally fresh coffee while saving on international shipping costs and import tariffs. Only 500g bags are available for this first run in order to streamline our process and alleviate potential mistakes.

One of the pleasures of Kintamani coffee is how dramatically its character can change with roasting. Please read our recent blog for an in depth description of the two beans we are offering for this first production.

Light Roast — Bright & Aromatic
A lighter roast preserves more of the coffee's natural acidity and delicate aromatics. Expect citrus, floral notes, fruit, and a clean sweetness. This profile is particularly suited to pour-over, V60, Chemex, and other filter methods, where clarity allows the character of the origin to shine.

Medium Roast — Balanced & Sweet
With additional development, the brighter fruit notes become accompanied by brown sugar, caramel, cocoa, and a fuller body, while retaining some of Kintamani's characteristic brightness. Medium roast is an especially versatile choice for filter coffee, French press, AeroPress, and espresso.

Dark Roast — Deep & Full-Bodied
A darker roast moves the profile toward deeper caramelization, cocoa, roasted sweetness, and a heavier body, while reducing the brighter citrus character that makes Kintamani distinctive. This profile is well suited to espresso and milk-based coffee, where its additional body and intensity can stand up to milk.

For the best experience, we recommend purchasing whole bean and grinding immediately before brewing.

Once coffee is ground, its surface area increases dramatically. Carbon dioxide and volatile aromatic compounds escape much faster, while greater exposure to oxygen accelerates the processes responsible for staling. The Specialty Coffee Association notes that gases that may take weeks to dissipate from whole beans can be lost in minutes once coffee is ground.

Keeping the coffee whole means more of its aroma, sweetness, and character remains protected inside the bean until the moment you brew. Store it sealed, dry, cool, and away from excessive oxygen, heat, moisture, and light.
