Frinsa Estate is a world-renowned farm. You have definitely heard of it if you love coffee from Indonesia. In 2010, Wildan Mustofa and his wife, Atik Mustikaningtyas, launched their first coffee project. At that time, aiming for high quality, they focused on washed coffee. Since even in the Indonesian specialty market wet-hulled processing was dominant, washed coffee immediately stood out as a mark of quality.

Frinsa, located in West Java, has its own processing station, well-ventilated warehouses, and a hulling station. All of this is situated nearby, at 1,400 meters above sea level. It allows farmers to control quality at every stage — from cultivation and harvesting to fermentation, drying, hulling, and sorting.

While Frinsa’s main focus is washed coffee, they are widely recognized for producing incredibly bright, funky coffees with overwhelming sweetness and tropical notes. Today their lots are divided into three categories: Sarapan (meaning “breakfast,” usually high-quality washed or honey coffee), Manis (“sweet” — honey or natural lots, slightly funky but mostly sweet), and Edun (“crazy” — bursting with funky notes).

This lot belongs to the Manis line. At Frinsa they say this is the coffee everyone loves. But to us, it could easily fit into the Edun line, because this coffee is wild. Bright, intense notes of passion fruit, grapes, and starfruit. Juicy acidity and incredible sweetness.
