Java Frinsa Estate

Wildan Mustof is the owner of this estate. In 2010, he and his wife Atieq started their coffee cultivation plan in the Sindangkerta Weninggalih area for the first time. After that, Java Frinsa Estate's farm became their main cultivation area. From the first year of production, Wildan focused on quality, requiring strict management and processing methods. While most Indonesian coffee producers were doing wet hulling processing, Wildan focused on full wash processing. This coffee is the Sigarar Utang variety cultivated by Frinsa Estate. Frinsa Estate is located at an altitude of 1300-1600m with about 110 hectares, situated in West Java (locally known as "Sunda"). At 1400m altitude, they have a wash processing plant, a well-ventilated storage space, and a drying plant. This means they can fully control product quality from harvesting, grading, screening to shipping. Most of their coffee is processed by full wash method, but they also do some wet hulling and natural processing, mainly for the local market. They classify coffee batches according to planting location, variety, and harvest date. Through cooperation with coffee research centers, they have divided the farm into zones to plant many different unknown varieties. Because the coffee trees are still too small, no one knows what flavor profiles these coffee trees will present. In addition to their own coffee production, they also process coffee for local small farmers.

The harvest season is from May to September, with the main harvest from June to August. After coffee is harvested, it is manually sorted to remove unripe and pest-damaged coffee cherries.

After the harvested berries are pulped, they first undergo 15-18 hours of dry fermentation, then water is added for continued fermentation of 10-12 hours. After complete fermentation, they are washed clean with clear water.

Currently, most coffee is first dried on racks in a greenhouse for 1-2 days, then moved to a patio for drying. The drying time takes about 14-20 days, depending on whether it rains during the drying period.
