Dutch Colony Coffee Co. was established in 2013 at Pasarbella, a rustic farmers' market in Singapore, inspired by the historical role the Dutch played in spreading coffee around the world. Co owner and Director of Coffee Suhaimie Sukiman, who entered the industry in 1998, leads a team that now spans six retail cafes, a roastery, and a barista academy with more than 70 employees. All coffee is roasted on a 35kg Loring that uses hot air technology to recirculate through a static drum, and every bean purchased scores a minimum of 85 points. The company is home to multiple national champions, including two Singapore Cup Taster title holders and medal winning roasters and latte artists, and maintains long term sourcing relationships, working with the same Colombian producer since its founding year.
