This coffee is a tribute to Dandy who passed in April of 2025, to showcase his beautiful coffee and one of the last batches he processed. This is a Nano lot of just 46 bags. The Ijen region, nestled in East Java, has long been known for its stunning volcanic landscapes and fertile soil. What sets it apart from many other Indonesian coffee-growing regions is its unique topography: a high-altitude plateau that provides ideal conditions for coffee cultivation. Dandy Dharmawan was first introduced to specialty coffee in the cafes of Java during his time as a college student in Bogor by hopping from cafes to cafes all over the city. As he began to understand how to consume the coffee without sugar, he developed an interest in coffee post-harvest processes. After he graduated with a degree in Business Agriculture in 2016, he travelled around Indonesia's islands and studied at the best coffee farms. His journey started in a failed Luwak coffee business, but his determination finally brought him to open his own farm and washing stationWashing stationA central mill where many smallholder farmers deliver cherry for processing.
