Bali grows arabica mainly in the Kintamani highlands, with a single annual harvest unlike parts of Indonesia such as Sumatra.
Bali's main coffee-growing area is the highland region of Kintamani, between the volcanoes of Batukaru and Agung. Many Balinese farmers belong to the Subak Abian traditional farming system, based on the Hindu philosophy of Tri Hita Karana, which favours organic fertilizers and low use of agrochemicals. Coffee is generally processed by the wet method, giving a sweet, soft coffee with good consistency and typical flavours of lemon and other citrus. Unlike other parts of Indonesia such as Sumatra, Bali has a single harvest season each year, typically around July to September in Wikipedia's account and June to October in a 2009 Jakarta Post report on Kintamani. In 2008 Indonesia's first geographical indication was issued for Kopi Arabica Kintamani Bali.
