Named after the Japanese word for island (島), this coffee comes from the Kintamani highlands, sitting atop a large volcanic plateau. The use of pesticides is prohibited on Bali, and thus all fertilizers are 100% organic. The Subak Abian is a traditional farming structure organization that is similar to the traditional farmer cooperative. There are 13 different Subak Abians that are currently growing and processing coffee in Bali. They oversee the promotion of improved coffee growing practices, expected to enhance not only agricultural technology, but also social and economic standing in Bali.
