Indonesia Ijen Lestari Nalar

About This Coffee

This Lactic Natural processed coffee from Ijen Lestari in Banyuwangi, East Java, Indonesia is produced through a refined three-year technique using controlled lactic acid development. Ripe cherries are sealed in barrels with lactic acid bacteria for 72-hour fermentation at cooler temperatures, then dried naturally with fruit intact. The result features bright, zingy citrus acidity with berry and floral notes, revealing ribena, raisin, and purple grape on filter, while espresso shows raspberry, strawberry, and ripe cherry with creamy texture and white chocolate sweetness.

Arkib Kopi

Arkib Kopi was founded in 2018 by Helmi, a certified Q grader whose training in Japan shaped both his palate and his approach to presentation. The roastery operates from its "Ibu Sawat" (Mothership) facility in Kuala Lumpur, housing a custom 1kg machine alongside a 15kg Cogen roaster for production batches. Sourcing follows a dual model: direct trade with producers to secure top lots and a sustainable partnership with Falcon Coffee Trader that prioritizes social and environmental impact. The lineup is organized into three collections, FANSI for omni roast, RUTIN for filter, and MANIS for espresso, each highlighting seasonal origins from Rwanda, Panama, Indonesia, and Brazil. Arkib also runs weekend public cupping sessions at its flagship, reinforcing its role as a community hub for specialty coffee education in Malaysia.
