Haha- better profile photo! In the last one could only see your folded arms. Is that Budha in Kiev??

Thanks Marina. The website has been around a while now- I have a seperate one for Merdeka in NZ. The Luwak, yes I made that picture when we had a film crew from German TV here a few years back. The Luwak has been a point of interest for quite a number of visitors here! Coffee- we work directy with farming groups aroun Indonesia. 97% or there abouts- of all Indonesian coffee is not grown on Plantations, but by small holders- it is a wee bit different than saw growers in Origins through the Americas.

Coffee in Indonesia pretty much grows anywhere- from the lowlands (Robusta) to the mountains (Arabica). If you evr decide on a visit here- let me know.

Hi !! Marina,

Thanks for accepting my friendship !! I am from India. I would like to start my own coffee shop in India. In which way U help me ?

Yes we both source and roast the coffee ourselves. The focus is 100% on Indonesian coffees- arabicas with one robusta exception. Lat count we retailed around 30 types of coffee- mainly singe origins, but also a range of blends. One of the blessings (as below) is Indonesia has such diversity

You know, I am so blessed living here. Java alone has how many fine, fine quality arabica coffees. Robusta something I drink a lot of when I am out in the field. Right now, (as I type), I am up in a village where robusta is the standard crop. It is raining outside and the family I am with has indeed just brought me a cup of Robusta. It is indeed different from the Arabica, but as the rain falls- it is still a hot, sweet way of passing the time and breaking the ice.
