Reza is a passionate and innovative producer that we have worked with for the couple of years. With the earth beneath his feet, Reza embodies the spirit of a dedicated cultivator who has made it his life's mission to craft the perfect cup of coffee.
With a deep-rooted connection to the land, he takes pride in owning a splendid plot where he cultivate coffee plants and proceess coffee cherries, specializing in the production of robusta beans.
However, Reza's ambition doesn't stop there. Lately, he has been taking on the challenge of processing arabica beans as well, demonstrating his versatility and eagerness to expand his expertise.
Not only is Reza an adept grower and processor, but he also nurtures a secondary passion as a part-time coffee roaster. His dedication to the craft is evident in the flavors he coaxes out of each batch, transforming raw coffee beans into a symphony of enticing aromas and exquisite tastes.
In the heart of Reza lies an unwavering commitment to his art, striving for excellence with every harvest and processing endeavor. He cherishes the connection between the land, the beans, and the final cup of coffee that delights the senses of those fortunate enough to taste his coffee.
We are thrilled to showcase one of our first-ever curated Robusta coffee, meticulously crafted by the processor Reza. This exceptional lot features the robusta BP and Tugusari varieties, processed using the innovative hydro honey method. In this unique coffee processing technique, the beans undergo a hydro process that intricately combines elements of both honey and washed processing, resulting in a distinctive flavor profile. Following this, the beans are carefully dried as red honey, with 50% of mucilage retained to impart a nuanced sweetness and complexity.
