Bali Blue Moon, a Royal staple, derives its name from the distinctive bluish tint of the beans, a result of the wet-hulling process known as Giling Basah in Indonesian. The majority of Bali's coffee is cultivated on small, family-owned farms where producers allocate a few acres to coffee cultivation alongside citrus trees in the volcanic soil of Mount Agung's Kintamani highlands.

In Bali, producers adhere to a traditional rural lifestyle centered around the Subak Abian system, an ecologically sustainable irrigation method developed over a millennium ago by Hindu priests who follow Tri Hita Karana, a philosophy that emphasizes harmony between the environment, humans, and God. This approach extends to coffee cultivation, ensuring that pesticides and synthetic fertilizers are never used, preserving the natural integrity of their crops.

The practice of 'monsooning' coffee traces back to an era when beans were shipped from India to Europe in the hulls of wooden vessels. As the coffee endured the journey’s humid conditions and salty sea breezes, the beans began to transform. By the time they arrived at their destination, they had swollen and turned a pale yellow, quite different from their original state. To the surprise of Europeans, this unique process produced a smooth, mellow flavor that quickly gained popularity.

Today, this monsooning effect is intentionally replicated in warehouses, where coffee beans are similarly exposed to the elements before being distributed to roasters worldwide, recreating the same mellow profile that sparked a beloved tradition.
