Kintamani washed Arabica coffee export means fully-washed Grade 1 green beans from the Kintamani Highlands of Bangli Regency, north-east Bali — screen 16+, cupping around SCA 82-84, moisture below 13%, with a clean, bright citrus cup. Indicative FOB sits at USD 8-11/kg as of 2026, confirmed on grade, cupping score, lot size and MOQ.
Kintamani is often called a capital of Bali’s specialty coffee, grown across villages like Ulian (Desa Ulian) and Catur at altitudes reported between roughly 1,000 and 1,500 metres above sea level. For EU and US roasters who want a dependable, clean-cup washed profile with GI provenance and EUDR-ready paperwork, this page sets out the specification, the price band, and how to request samples.
What defines an export-grade washed Kintamani lot?
Washed (fully-washed) processing means the cherry is pulped and the mucilage is removed by fermentation and washing before the beans are dried — typically sun-dried on raised beds. That clean separation is what gives washed Kintamani its transparent, citrus-forward cup rather than the heavier fruit of a natural lot.
Current export listings for Kintamani describe Grade 1 quality with screen sizes spanning 15-19, and specialty-market suitability at screen 16 and above, with a high proportion retained on screen 17-18. Moisture is held at a maximum of 13% and the defect value at a maximum of 11.

Cupping scores and grades come only from a specific lot’s cupping report or COA — we never attribute a score to a farm or cooperative as a blanket fact.
How does the washed process shape flavour and consistency?
Removing mucilage before drying cuts fermentation variables, so washed Kintamani tends to cup more consistently batch to batch — useful when you are dialing in a repeatable filter or espresso roast. Buyers describe the profile as bright and citrus-led, sitting on the volcanic terroir of the Kintamani caldera and the Subak Abian cultivation-and-irrigation tradition that shapes the region’s smallholder farming.
Because much of Kintamani is grown by smallholders, some producers set aside unique micro-lots for specialty roasters. If you want a washed micro-lot with a higher score, we sample it separately and the price moves up the band accordingly.
What does washed Kintamani cost to export in 2026?
Pricing moves with harvest, quality and cupping score, so treat the band below as indicative FOB as of 2026, subject to change. A firm quote is issued once we confirm grade, score, lot and MOQ.
| Tier | Spec | Indicative FOB (2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Washed Grade 1 specialty | Screen 16+, SCA ~82-84 | USD 8-11/kg |
| Microlot / natural | SCA 84-87+ | USD 10-15+/kg |
| Commodity | Below specialty grade | ~USD 3.5-6/kg |
For context only — not export asking prices — one retail single-origin Kintamani product has been listed domestically at Rp90,000-Rp280,000, and value-added references per kilogram of green bean have been cited at roughly Rp14,140 (natural), Rp12,906 (honey) and Rp10,856 (full-washed). Those are Indonesian reference points, not FOB quotes.
How does ordering a washed lot work?
Green (unroasted) coffee is a booked, seasonal purchase. The main Kintamani harvest runs May-October per export factsheets, so sampling and container pre-booking are best planned around it.
- Share your spec — target screen, score, process, volume and destination port. Set the form’s cargo field to “washed green coffee”.
- Sample dispatch — we send washed lot samples for your cupping table, with the lot’s report or COA.
- Confirm the lot — lock grade, score, MOQ and price within the indicative band, then contract.
- Prepare EUDR + documents — we help assemble plot geolocation and due-diligence traceability, plus certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificate, commercial invoice and packing list with the correct HS code for green coffee.
- Book and ship — the lot moves in GrainPro and jute bags from Bali or Surabaya ports to your EU or US port, with logistics arranged via vetted licensed partners.
Coffee is in-scope of the EU Deforestation Regulation, which requires plot geolocation and due-diligence documentation. We help you prepare EUDR-ready traceability, but we do not sell certainty on customs or EUDR outcomes — final compliance sits with the importer and the authorities.
Traceability cues serious buyers look for: bags specifying Bangli Regency, the GI-protected Kintamani Arabica designation, and a named subak (Subak Abian) group. Kintamani Arabica was one of the first Indonesian coffees to receive Geographical Indication certification under Indonesia’s Directorate General of Intellectual Property, framed by sources as protection comparable to the EU’s PDO. We will not invent GI or certificate numbers — verified references travel with the lot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is washed Kintamani Arabica better for filter or espresso?
Both. The washed process gives a clean, bright citrus cup with consistent batch-to-batch behaviour, so it dials in well as a single-origin filter and holds up in espresso where clarity matters. Ask for the lot’s cupping report to match the profile to your roast style before committing to volume.
What screen size and moisture should I expect in a washed Kintamani export lot?
Export listings describe Grade 1 washed Kintamani at screen 16 and above, with a high proportion retained on screen 17-18, moisture held to a maximum of 13% and a defect value capped at 11. Every figure is confirmed against the specific lot’s report or COA before shipment, as of 2026.
Can you supply EUDR-ready traceability for washed Kintamani?
Yes — we help assemble plot geolocation and due-diligence documentation, alongside bags specifying Bangli Regency and the GI-protected designation. Coffee is in-scope of the EU Deforestation Regulation. We prepare the traceability package but never sell certainty on customs or EUDR outcomes; final compliance rests with the importer and the authorities.
How is washed Kintamani different from natural or honey lots?
Washed lots have the mucilage removed before drying, producing a cleaner, more citrus-led and consistent cup. Natural Kintamani is 100% sun-dried on raised beds for heavier fruit, while honey keeps mucilage on during shade-drying for a rounder body. Natural and honey micro-lots typically score and price higher up the band.
What is the minimum order and lead time for washed green coffee?
MOQ and lead time depend on the lot and your destination port; we confirm both on quotation. Plan around the main Kintamani harvest of May-October, when sampling and container pre-booking are strongest. Green coffee ships from Bali or Surabaya in GrainPro and jute, arranged via vetted licensed partners.
