West Java Gunung Tilu
Whole Bean Coffee
Price range: $21.00 through $34.00
Coffees from West Java are known for their weight and depth, and this lot from Gunung Tilu delivers that character with a cleaner, more balanced edge. It opens with a full, grounded body, then settles into a smooth, structured cup that stays composed from start to finish.
Grown by smallholder farmers on the slopes of Gunung Tilu, this coffee benefits from rich volcanic soil and steady mountain rainfall. The traditional wet-hulled process gives it its signature texture while keeping the profile surprisingly refined.
It’s a versatile coffee to roast and brew. Lighter roasts bring out more clarity, while medium to darker roasts highlight its richness and body. It also makes a fantastic dark roast espresso, producing a dense, syrupy shot with a lasting finish. Whether brewed as pour over, espresso, or French press, it holds up well across the board without needing much added to it.
