The Bali Blue Moon is the semi-wet-processed version with its musty earthy full bodied chocolate undertones.  The Bali \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"SpellE\"\u003eKintamani\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is the natural processed version, which is a strange result. You still get the smoothness and the full body, but the end result can vary.  Some harvests have picked up strange undertones such as glue, cherry, and cabbage, where as other years are cherry and watermelon with an earthy finish.\u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bali-natural-kintamani","title":"Bali Natural Kintamani","description":"\u003cp\u003eKintamani is complex and fascinating, particularly because you rarely find a natural-processed Indonesian coffee bean. Its flavor includes that of tropical fruits, strawberry, watermelon, flowers, and cocoa notes. The smooth taste (low acidity) and thick body stand it apart from what could otherwise be mistaken as an African coffee. You would expect earthiness in Bali natural processed Indonesian, but this one is surprisingly clean, with little to none of that earthy or fermented taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a difficult bean to roast as long as you have a head's up on a couple of things. The first cracks are quieter than most coffee cracking. Hence, it is easy to accidentally underroast this. The lighter roasts are interesting, but is you accidentally pull the coffee out while it's still in the first cracks, all you're going to taste is grass. Let it get out of the first cracks, and you get herbal anise, savory pinenut, full body, floral, tropical fruit, banana, slight cherry, strawberry, and overall good sweetness. Keep roasting...you lose some of the character, but you get more chocolate which is arguably even more enjoyable. 2nd cracks are late too.  Let it get just to the second cracks and it will taste like a dark roast and be a bit bitter, but if you take a sip thinking it will be a dark roast with sweetness and slight fruit, it will meet your expectations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's fun to see what you get processing an Indonesian coffee as if it were African. The hybrid of the two is both educational and inspiring. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUS Arrival November 2025\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"happymugcoffee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19894490005592,"sku":null,"price":7.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/8548\/8472\/products\/933.jpg?v=1738611659"},{"product_id":"bali-washed-kintamani","title":"Bali Washed Kintamani","description":"\u003cp\u003eI didn't know what to expect from this one. We've had washed Sumatra and washed Java coffees, but neither is common, and I'd never had a washed Bali.  It turns out that it's not all that different from its wet-hulled Blue Moon cousin. Roasts that are lighter than 2nd cracks have a strong tobacco flavor that I don't think most people would find appealing, and roasts into the 2nd cracks start tasting like a Bali Blue Moon that has thinner body just isn't too exciting. However, if you roast this 20-30 seconds into the rolling 2nd cracks as if it's a wet-hulled Bali it turns super chocolatey and the roastiness of it pairs well with the inherent flavors. We are roasting it even darker than that, a full on Italian roast profile, and it's deliciously dark with chocolate undertones and good both straight or with cream. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's fun to see these experimental microlots coming out of Bali, and I'm sure they'll only continue to get better the more experience they have with new processing techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUS Arrival January 2025\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"happymugcoffee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50580335460639,"sku":null,"price":7.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/8548\/8472\/files\/PXL_20250207_211911378.jpg?v=1740674595"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/8548\/8472\/collections\/bali.jpg?v=1647829812","url":"https:\/\/happymugcoffee.sbs\/collections\/bali.oembed","provider":"Happy Mug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
