This coffee is sourced from the West Java region of Indonesia. It is a single-origin coffee that highlights the historical significance of the Java coffee region. The beans are processed using the Giling Basah (wet-hulled) method, which is characteristic of the region and contributes to a distinct flavor profile.
Marissa Childers founded Tanbrown Coffee in Atlanta in 2022, bringing a focus on Asian coffee origins that remains rare in specialty roasting. Childers learned to roast through the Glitter Cat program, which brings people from marginalized backgrounds into the coffee industry, and has since gone on to judge national competitions. Tanbrown sources exclusively from Asian growing regions or through direct connections, treating the work as a love letter to an underrepresented part of the coffee world. Childers spent over a year developing her palate and understanding acidity, body, and balance before launching, and that deliberateness carries through every roast.
