September Coffee of the Month: Sulawesi Toraja

Now aboard · September 2026

Sulawesi Toraja

Medium-dark · Full-bodied · Smooth · Low-acid

Sulawesi Toraja bag

Vanilla and dark chocolate give this Indonesian coffee its depth, while a clean note of citrus keeps the finish bright. Grown in the high country of South Sulawesi and processed through Indonesia’s distinctive Giling Basah wet-hulling method, it is a deep, steady cup made for the first watch, and the second pour.

How it works

Journey around
the world with us.

You tell us how much coffee you drink and how you brew it. We send a different origin every month. Four steps, and only the first two need you.

  1. 01

    Tell us how much you drink

    12 oz for one drinker, 2 lb for a household, 5 lb for an office. Then how you brew: whole bean, drip, coarse for French press, or fine for espresso. You set this once and it stays put.

  2. 02

    Pick how long you commit

    Buy a single bag with no commitment, or commit to 3, 6, or 12 months for a better price and a free gift. You are billed monthly, never up front.

  3. 03

    A new coffee arrives every month

    Same size, same grind, different origin. It is roasted after you are billed and shipped straight to you, so it arrives fresh rather than off a shelf.

  4. 04

    Keep going, or stop

    When your commitment is up, your coffee keeps coming at the same discount until you say otherwise. Continue your travels with us and try something new every month.

The Log Book

Your voyage,
port by port.

Frequently asked questions

Before you set sail.

Will I receive the same coffee every month?

No. The featured coffee changes each month. Your selected bag size, grind, and voyage stay the same unless you update them through Salty Sailor support or the subscription portal.

Can I buy this month’s coffee without joining?

Yes. Choose the one-time option to try the current release without a continuing commitment.

Are the longer voyages prepaid?

No. You are charged monthly. The plan sets the minimum number of paid monthly shipments: 3, 6, or 12.

What happens after my minimum term?

Delivery continues month to month at your selected plan discount until canceled. After the minimum term, you may cancel before the next billing date.

When will my signup reward arrive?

Rewards are sent once, separately from the coffee, after your first successful payment. The 3-month voyage includes a Sticker Pack; 6 months includes a Sticker Pack and Mug; 12 months includes a Sticker Pack and Drink Like a Sailor T-shirt.

What happens when I scan an older bag?

You reach that coffee’s permanent page, not a page that gets overwritten. Its origin, story, tasting notes, and brew guidance stay in the Coffee Log.

The honest answer

Why does this cost more than the coffee at the grocery store?

Because it is a different product, bought a different way. Supermarket coffee is a commodity: graded by the sack, blended for consistency, roasted months before you open it. Specialty coffee is bought by the lot, from a named farm or cooperative, picked selectively, and roasted in small batches to a profile that suits that particular harvest.

  • It is picked, not stripped. Cherries ripen at different times on the same branch, so a specialty lot gets picked over repeatedly by hand instead of stripped once.
  • It is graded, and most of it does not make the cut. Defects get sorted out. What is left is a smaller yield from the same amount of work.
  • Processing is a choice, not a default. Washed, natural, honey, wet-hulled: each takes different time, labor and infrastructure, and each changes how the cup tastes.
  • It is roasted to order, in small batches. Not roasted to a warehouse schedule and left to go stale on a shelf.
  • The farmer is paid more. Paying above the commodity price is the entire reason a farm can afford to do all of the above.
