Over the years, Rante Karua plantation has built a reputation for producing some of the world's best coffees from Sulawesi. Commonly known as Celebes Kalosi Toraja, Rante Karua's coffees are often sold under Sulotco.

Originally started by the Dutch during the colonization period, Rante Karua was revived by Sulotco upon a 50-year lease from the Indonesian government in 1986. Whilst planting new coffee plants, Sulotco also rejuvenated the traditional local varietal - Kalosi Toraja, reintroducing its unique taste that was once lost.

Grown at a high altitude range between 1500 - 1700 meters above sea level, the coffee cherries mature slowly, and as they reach the ripest point, the coffee will have a higher sweetness thanks to the high altitude, and Sulotco Jaya Abadi can produce a really clean classic washed process. It has a juicy acidity that reminds us of biting into a rose apple, pronounced sweetness of molasses, with a black tea aftertaste.
