Supriyanto, known as Iyan, a farmer in Mount Suket, located in Ijen grows not only Laurina but also Orange Bourbon in a small plot of his farm.  His farm spans over 8 Ha and the coffee seed was first planted by PT Perkebunan Nusantara and was cultivated by Supriyanto.
 
The Orange Bourbon coffee variety grown by Supriyanto on Mount Suket, part of the Ijen volcano range in Indonesia, is a unique specialty coffee known for its vibrant appearance. This variety is a mutation of the original Bourbon, which originated on the island of Réunion (formerly Bourbon), and produces cherries with a striking orange hue.
 
The high-altitude volcanic soil of Mount Suket contributes to the beans’ balanced acidity and rich complexity, often described with notes of fruit and caramel.
 
This lot is processed in an anaerobic environment, sealed in a plastic tank for 120 hours, and dried as natural. A super enticing coffee with excellent characteristics and is considered very clean for a coffee processed and fermented in an anaerobic environment. Blueberry and forest fruits are very well present alongside a well-balanced sweetness.
