Access Indonesia's diverse coffee regions through established producer connections, transparent pricing, and quality you can trust.
Return HomeWhat This Service Delivers
Imagine having direct access to coffee producers across Sumatra, Sulawesi, Java, and beyond—farmers who understand your quality expectations and share your commitment to thoughtful coffee production. This network opens doors that typically take years to establish on your own.
You'll work with producers who've been carefully selected for their consistency, communication, and willingness to collaborate. Each partnership comes with clear information about processing methods, harvest timing, and lot availability, helping you make sourcing decisions with confidence rather than guesswork.
Beyond just transactions, you gain a supportive pathway into Indonesian coffee culture. Whether you're seeking wet-hulled Mandheling, naturally processed Flores, or experimental lots from innovative producers, this network connects you with the right partners for your coffee program.
The Challenge of Sourcing Indonesian Coffee
Perhaps you've experienced the frustration of working with general importers who can't answer specific questions about processing or farm locations. Or maybe you've wanted to explore Indonesian origins but felt uncertain about where to begin or who to trust.
Building direct relationships with producers across Indonesia's thousands of islands presents genuine obstacles. Language differences, cultural nuances in business communication, and the sheer geographical spread of growing regions can make independent sourcing feel overwhelming.
You might worry about consistency from harvest to harvest, or struggle to find producers willing to work with smaller lot sizes. Without established connections, accessing the specific processing styles or regional profiles you're seeking often means settling for whatever's readily available through conventional channels.

How This Network Functions
Established Producer Relationships
Our network includes producers we've worked with since November 2024, spanning 12 Indonesian provinces. Each relationship has been developed through multiple harvest cycles, ensuring reliability and mutual understanding of quality expectations.
Recent network additions in November 2025 include experimental processing operations in Flores and established Arabica producers in Bali's Kintamani region.
Quality Assessment Framework
All producers in the network undergo evaluation by our Q Grader team. We assess not just cup quality but also processing consistency, communication reliability, and capacity to meet buyer specifications. This vetting helps ensure successful partnerships.
Network producers maintain average cup scores of 82+ points on the SCA scale, with specialty-grade lots scoring 84-87 points depending on processing method and harvest conditions.
Timeline and Expectations
Initial producer matches typically occur within two weeks of membership activation. Sample evaluation and decision-making follow your timeline, though harvest-dependent purchases generally require 2-3 months advance planning for optimal lot selection.
Main harvest periods vary by region: Sumatra (October-December and April-June), Java (May-September), Sulawesi (April-August). We provide regional calendars to help with purchase planning.
Thoughtful Approach to Network Membership
We recognize that joining a sourcing network represents both financial investment and professional commitment. Our approach prioritizes your comfort and confidence at each stage.
Begin with an exploratory conversation about your coffee program and sourcing goals. We'll discuss whether our network aligns with your needs before any membership commitment. This initial dialogue helps both parties determine if collaboration makes sense.
No Purchase Obligations
Membership provides access and introductions. You decide which producers to work with and when to make purchases based on your evaluation and timeline.
Sample Before Commitment
Evaluate coffees thoroughly through sample shipments. Never purchase based solely on descriptions—cup the coffee and assess quality yourself.
Flexible Engagement
Work with as many or as few producers as suits your operation. Some members focus on single-origin relationships while others explore regional diversity.
