    Hi KF! our Obama Blend is quite new age- Eastern Indonesian origins mainly. Fruity, funky... a change coffee for sure! The McCain Blend is (was as its not selling now!) more robust, solid, steady but (perhaps) not spectacular! We here feel quite an affinity for B.O as he spent much of his childhood growing up in Jakarta

    im very sad aswell that im not able to serve u a cup.
    definitely in the future ill get a chance.
    anyway have u tried the coffees at ZEN Gardens by Secret Recipe?
    they use nuovo simonelli over there.
    also maybe u would love to try espresso's at GSC Signature.
    the baristas over there are very well trained and they do some wicked latte art over there.

    no real 'coffee house' in sabah, but only all the franchise cafe like starbuck, coffee bean etc.
    cap kuda is one of the oldest and biggest coffee factory in sabah.
    I work in a coffee factory that produce black coffee and pre-mix coffee
