About This Coffee

Single-origin washed coffee from Ethiopia's Djimmah Zone, grown at 2,040 meters altitude by producer Mustefa Abakeno. The Amatera Lot features a distinctive pre-fermentation stage using an aerobic process before washing, which softens ferment character typical of washed coffees. The result is a clean citrus-forward cup with gentle depth. Espresso reveals meringue creaminess with lemon cake notes, persimmon fruitiness, and chrysanthemum aroma. With milk, it develops floral daisy notes with peach and nestum sweetness. Medium-low body with well-balanced, jammy citrus structure.

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.
