Moscato. Lychee. Cinnamon Sugar. Purple Fruits.

'The Colonial Reserve' or TCR collection #011 is a delicious single origin grown by a collective of farmers in the village of Mbohang. This coffee is yet again our first purchase from this very new producer. It is also probably the producer/s SSG Coffee Co. & Tuang Coffee first to be selling their microlot into Singapore. 

Kamala is part of SSG's Catur Collection of taste profiles, designed to produce coffee by taste profiles rather than merely producing by the variety, farms or processing methods. Together with their partner farmers, they produced 4 distinctive taste profiles. These were made possible by their proprietary processing techniques that were developed to ensure that they are able to offer the same taste profiles every harvest year.

The name catur comes from an old Sanskrit language meaning four, referring to the 4 key taste profiles as follows:

Bumi: it means means earth in Indonesian. It is their take on a classic Indonesian profile. The coffees under Bumi taste profile has the same chocolate, nice brown spices and sweetness that people like about Indonesian coffee but elevated with extra vibrancy and clean taste that Bumi process offers.

Pucuk: it means the tip of a tea leaf in Sanskrit. This taste profile includes delicate taste profiles that are more tealike with soft citric acidity.

Senja: it means sunset in Sanskrit. Just like the different colour and stages of sunset, this taste profiles is signified by a combination of deeper and more complex vibrancy with an accompanying sweetness and rounded body.

Kamala: it means lotus as well as pale red in Sanskrit. This taste profile is their take on what Indonesian coffees could be under innovative and experimental post-harvest processing techniques. Kamala offers different arrays of fruity, cacao nibs and out of this world flavours!

From Flores, Indonesia to Singapore, TCR #011 is only made possible through the story of relationship, coffee and people. This is a coffee that Brew Moments and Inspiring Relationships.
