The Story Behind the Coffee:

In traditional Balinese culture, coffee has been regarded as a cheap beverage ingredient.

The flavor and quality of this origin have always been in an unstable or declining state.

Most has become cheap commercial coffee beans.

Rodney and his partners decided to change local people's stereotypical impression of coffee.

They chose Ubud market area, the cultural center of Bali.

They opened the island's only specialty coffee shop.

Rodney and his two other partners.

All obtained internationally recognized Coffee Q certification.

To ensure the quality of their own coffee.

They are also the only coffee shop in the area with this certification.

The coffee shop has two roasters: 1kg and 4kg.

All coffee in the shop comes from high-quality green beans from local or nearby producing areas.

(For example: Java, Sulawesi, New Guinea, Flores) etc.

The success of the coffee shop gave them greater motivation.

To pursue high-quality coffee sources.

Several years ago, local Balinese green coffee beans.

Were all processed by farmers in the Kintamani mountain area.

But every year, whether due to weather factors, berry quality, processing environment, and various other factors.

It always made it difficult for them to control the quality of green beans each year. Since 2015.

Rodney decided to build his own processing station in his front yard next to the coffee shop.

When the harvest season arrived last year.

They went to the Kintamani area at 1400 meters altitude to purchase high-quality coffee berries.

After partial preliminary processing.

They were transported to the more stable Ubud area at 800 meters altitude for final processing.
