【Comment from Web】
In Bali, every single aspect of life connects to God.
Sinzan, cultivated in the island where God live, has well harmonized bitterness, sweetness and sourness, which made us thankful to God.  This coffee is characterized by Calamel like chocolate flavor followed by a sense of bitter sweet body
