Merdeka Coffee
| About us | To roast the perfect bean we searched the world for a rotary roaster that would allow us to control every stage of the process. Many modern machines are controlled by computer processors, but like fine wine-making, roasting requires the roast master to be able to add his own personal touch to the process. Our machine is a classic drum roaster from antigua, guatemala. It was used by a highland estate to roast plump guatemalan coffee cherries before we purchased, renovated and shipped her to indonesia. With our drum roaster secured we searched for the perfect place to roast. We decided to base ourselves in the mountain town of bukit sentul, near the old dutch resort(now city) of bogor. Here the air is fresher, cleaner and the climate is perfect for warehousing and roasting of our beans. Our passion for great indonesia n coffee has taken us all over the archipelago in search of the best and most flavorsome cherries. From north sumatra and java through flores and east timor and across to irian jaya, we have and continue to visit our partners on a regular basis. We believe in buying directly from the estates and the small holders we deal with- thus insuring they receive a fair price for their beans whilst we can benefit from being able to have a consultative role in the quality of the green beans we purchase. Our company philosophy is to encourage economic and social development of our partner communities through fair and equitable trade. These days we do not only roast, but also export green beans around the world! We consider ourselves to be champions for the small coffee shop& home roasters all over the globe. With access to such a wide range of unique beans we take great pride in promoting what we consider to be the best that indonesia has to offer. Memberships We believe one of the best ways to ensure our coffee remains the best available is to maintain memberships of professional coffee associations where we can exchange ideas and information with other roasters around the globe. These are people just like us, passionate coffee lovers who want to share everything they know and enjoy about coffee. We are members of scaa(specialty coffee association of america), aaca(the australasian/asian coffee association) and the european coffee association. We are also members of the indonesian coffee exporter association(aeki). |
