Manggarai Regency is the Flores regency seated at Ruteng, home to the indigenous Manggarai people and the Liang Bua archaeological site.
Manggarai Regency, seated at the town of Ruteng, lies in western Flores and is home to the indigenous Manggarai people. The sources consulted give no coffee-specific figures for Manggarai itself. Flores arabica more broadly is grown at 1,200 to 1,800 m on fertile Andosols.
A specialty exporter says Manggarai grows both arabica and robusta, with its specialty reputation built on arabica. Beyond wet hulling, producers use washed, honey and experimental anaerobic natural processing, and brighter, fruitier cups with orange, apricot and tropical-fruit notes can appear.
