Coffee farming in this region is deeply intertwined with the traditions of the Torajan people, known for their distinct customs, architecture, and rituals that reflect their connection to the land. Lots here are typically blended from various small-holder farmers and kept separate or combined to make exceptional microlots and community lots. The coffee farms of Toraja Utara are situated at high altitudes, often ranging between 1,200 and 1,800 meters above sea level.
