Frinsa Borbor

Frinsa Estate is located in the Pengalengan district of Western Java. It is run by Wildan Mustofa, his wife Atieq, who manages the administration and finances, and their son Fikri, who came on board full-time a little more than a year ago after finishing his university studies and is deeply involved in coffee processing. Wildan and Atieq started their first coffee project in the mountainous Sindangkerta area in 2010; that’s where the story of Java Frinsa Estate began. Since the first year of production, Wildan has aimed to focus on quality, which requires meticulous attention and processes. Today, Frinsa Estate spans over six different plantations, having their own processing plant and warehouse, giving them complete control, from cultivation to processing and sorting. For our particular lot (a selective harvest of the local Borbor variety), after washing, the coffee cherries are placed in sealed plastic barrels, where they ferment in an airtight environment for 72 hours, and then dried in parabolic dryers until the desired moisture content is reached.
