Kintamani green coffee export means shipping unroasted Arabica beans grown in Bangli Regency, north-east Bali — washed, natural, honey or semi-washed, Grade 1 at screen 16+, with GI origin and EUDR-ready traceability. Indicative FOB 2026 runs USD 8-11/kg for washed specialty and USD 10-15+/kg for microlots, quoted on grade, score, lot and MOQ.
Kintamani is often called the capital of Bali’s specialty coffee, and green (unroasted) beans — biji hijau — are what roasters in the EU and US actually import. This guide maps the whole decision: origin, process, grade, price, EUDR-readiness and logistics, then routes you to a spec sheet and price list.
Where does Kintamani green coffee actually come from?
Kintamani Arabica grows in the Kintamani Highlands of Bangli Regency, in north-east Bali Province — Named growing places you can put on a spec sheet include Kintamani, Ulian Village (Desa Ulian) and Catur Village. Reported cultivation altitudes vary across sources, from 1,000-1,500 m up to 1,200-1,700 m and 1,300-1,600 m above sea level for some lots.
The terroir carries legal weight. Kintamani Arabica was one of the first Indonesian coffees to receive Geographical Indication (GI) certification, registered under Indonesia’s Directorate General of Intellectual Property; sources frame that protection as equivalent to the EU’s PDO. Buyers chasing traceability want bags specifying Bangli Regency, the GI-protected designation, and a named cooperative or [Subak Abian](/subak-abian-kintamani-coffee/) group. We help document [GI origin](/kintamani-coffee-gi-certification/) without inventing certificate numbers.
Which process styles can you order?
Kintamani is typically wet-processed (proses basah), but specialty micro-lots arrive in four distinct styles. Each shifts cup character and price.
| Process | Local term | Method | Cup character |
|---|---|---|---|
| Washed / wet | Proses basah | Depulped, fermented, washed, dried | Clean, bright citrus |
| Natural | Natural | 100% sun-dried on raised beds, cherry on | Fruit-forward, heavier body |
| Honey | Honey | Mucilage-on, shade-dried | Rounded sweetness |
| Semi-washed | Giling basah | Wet-hulled after mucilage removal | Fuller body, earthier |
Order pages for each: [washed](/washed-kintamani-arabica-export/), [natural](/natural-process-kintamani-coffee-export/), [honey](/honey-process-kintamani-coffee-export/), [semi-washed](/semi-washed-kintamani-green-beans/), and one-off [microlots](/kintamani-microlot-coffee-export/) for roasters who want single-subak separation.
What grade and screen size do specialty roasters get?
Current export listings state Grade 1 — including Grade 1 TP (triple-picked) for a semi-washed lot. Screen size runs 15-19, with specialty-market suitability at [screen 16 or above](/kintamani-arabica-screen-16-18/) and a high proportion retained on screen 17-18. Moisture is capped at max 13% and defect value at max 11. The cup is described as bright citrus.
Grade and cupping score come only from a lot’s cupping report or COA — never pinned to a farm or cooperative as a blanket fact. Ask for the [Grade 1 spec](/grade-1-kintamani-green-coffee/) and [cupping score](/kintamani-coffee-cupping-score/) on the actual lot you’re buying.
What does Kintamani green coffee cost to import in 2026?
| Offering | Spec highlights | SCA cup score | Indicative FOB 2026 (USD/kg) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commodity green | Mixed grade | Below specialty | 3.5 – 6 |
| Washed Grade 1 specialty | Screen 16+, moisture max 13% | ~82 – 84 | 8 – 11 |
| Natural / honey specialty | Raised-bed / shade dried | 84 – 87+ | 10 – 15+ |
| Microlot | Triple-picked, single-subak | 86+ (per COA) | 10 – 15+ |
Those bands are indicative FOB as of 2026 and move with harvest, quality and score; every [FOB quote](/kintamani-green-coffee-fob-price/) confirms on grade, cupping score, lot and [MOQ](/bali-green-coffee-export-moq/). For context only — not export asking prices — one retail single-origin product was listed at Rp90,000-Rp280,000, and value-added studies cite green-bean cost points near Rp14,140/kg (natural), Rp12,906/kg (honey) and Rp10,856/kg (full-washed). Roasters and [specialty importers](/specialty-coffee-importer-bali/) should budget from the USD FOB band.
How does EUDR-ready traceability work?
Coffee is in-scope of the EU Deforestation Regulation, which requires plot geolocation and due-diligence documentation. We help you assemble [EUDR-ready traceability](/eudr-ready-kintamani-coffee/) — plot coordinates, GI designation, subak group and chain-of-custody — but we never sell certainty on customs clearance or EUDR outcomes, which sit with the authorities. The same honesty applies to your [export documents](/bali-arabica-export-documents/).
How does green coffee ship from Bali to EU and US ports?
Green (unroasted) coffee ships in GrainPro liners inside jute bags, from Bali or Surabaya ports to EU and US destinations. Typical documents include the certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, commercial invoice and packing list, plus the HS code for green coffee. Logistics are arranged via vetted licensed partners.
Plan around the season: export factsheets list the main Kintamani [harvest as May-October](/kintamani-coffee-harvest-schedule/), so pre-book container space and request samples in that window. Ask about [GrainPro and jute packing](/grainpro-jute-bag-coffee-packing/) and [shipping from Bali/Surabaya](/green-coffee-shipping-bali-surabaya/).
How does ordering work?
- Share your target — process, grade, cupping-score range, volume and destination port.
- Sample — we dispatch pre-shipment [samples](/kintamani-coffee-sample-order/) with the lot’s cupping report/COA.
- Confirm & contract — lock grade, price, Incoterms and EUDR documentation scope.
- Pre-shipment — container pre-booking around the May-October harvest; GrainPro + jute packing.
- Export — full document set issued; beans ship from Bali/Surabaya. Ask about [private-label / contract lots](/kintamani-coffee-private-label-export/).
