Just a Lil Happy is a saying in Water Valley. It means I was thinking of you, and I got you something, no need for a thank you note, it was no trouble.
Our Just a Lil Happy series is always a single origin coffee. Meaning all the beans are from one place, and it varies! Right now: Sulawesi Toraja "Sapan Minanga."
Okay, y'all. Who knew Sulawesi was an island in Indonesia? I didn't. And look at their houses! Famous in their resemblance to boats.
Here's what I think of this coffee: delicious. Smooth, smoky, dark chocolate, like the slightly chiller version of Sumatran.
Here's what coffee people think about this coffee: "Low acidity and sweetness, heavy body, with notes of vanilla, molasses, and black licorice."
About the region--
Demonstrated in its delicate earthiness and rich body, Sapan Minanga has long been recognized as one of the premium coffees grown on the island of Sulawesi. This sub-region of Tana Toraja produces only about 60,000 bags per harvest.
In the highlands of Sulawesi—one of Indonesia’s largest islands—the Toraja region boasts elaborate housing with beautiful carvings, a breath-taking landscape with rice paddies stretching out to the slope of high mountain ridges and unique cultural customs that attract tourists from around the world.
Toraja is situated in a mountainous area that’s lush with plant and wildlife, with iron-rich soil and a cool, comfortable climate at about 1,800 masl. It’s climate and rich, volcanic soil make up a perfect environment for cultivating coffee beans. The development of the Toraja region has historically and politically been influenced by coffee trading since it arrived in the 1850s. Today, coffee remains a highly valued commodity with a majority still grown by independent smallholders on family owned plots, then harvested and processed using traditional techniques.
(As always, add more coffee in your brewing process if you like your coffee dark as night and to slap you across the face, or less if you like a more lackadaisical cup of joe.)
