LAURINA — A RARE COFFEE VARIETY

Laurina is not a processing method. It is a coffee variety, and one of the rarest to come across in Indonesia's green bean market.

It originated as a natural mutation of Bourbon on Réunion Island in the early 1800s. Its beans are small and tapered, earning it the nickname Bourbon Pointu.

Laurina contains approximately 0.6% caffeine by green bean weight, compared to 1.2–1.5% in typical Arabica varieties. This is a natural genetic trait, not the result of decaffeination.

Caffeine serves as a natural defense mechanism against pests in coffee plants. As a result, Laurina trees are more vulnerable and produce lower yields. Laurina is rare not because it is deliberately made scarce, but because it is difficult to cultivate.

This lot was grown in the highlands of Ijen, Bondowoso, East Java, and underwent 120-hour natural anaerobic fermentation. The extended fermentation enhances its fruity character while allowing the variety's distinctive floral qualities to remain recognizable.

For home roasters, this is a variety usually encountered only in articles. For roasteries and coffee shops, it is a name that rarely appears on other single-origin menus.

Apple | Red Cherry | Jasmine Tea

We call them potential notes, not tasting notes. These are green beans, not roasted coffee. What ends up in the cup depends on your roasting profile. We simply provide a starting point.

EVERY LOT IS QUALITY-CHECKED >>

Origin, grade, processing method, moisture, density, and defect count.

We inspect, store, and document every lot. Coffee is not magic. Coffee is a process, and processes can be tested.

TRIPLE-PICK QUALITY ASSURANCE

Why Is Our Green Bean Quality More Transparent?

Most marketplace sellers claim Grade 1 quality based on a single pass through a coarse mechanical sorting machine.

At Coffest Roastery, we implement three stages of physical sorting and refinement:

1. Suton Machine

Removes foreign materials such as stones, twigs, dust, broken beans, and residual husks that make it through earlier processing stages.

2. Optical Sorting Machine (SORTEX)

Uses modern optical sensor technology to eject black beans, sour beans, and beans with defects caused by insect damage.

3. Hand Sorting (Manual Pick)

Our expert team performs the final manual inspection to remove fungus-damaged beans and bring the defect count as close to zero as possible.

Drying is carried out using indirect sunlight through a greenhouse-effect technique to preserve optimal flavor potential.
