Purity

Sumatra
In the mountainous Gayo region of Indonesia lays an elevated mecca for coffee production. Situated around the huge volcanic Lake Tuwar starts a treasure chest of natural jewels inspiring our sublime coffee beans.

Indonesian Coffee
Since 1696, when the Dutch established the first coffee estate in modern-day Java, Indonesia has been a locus of production, yielding coffee noted for its rich, full body and mild acidity.

An Unusual Twist
Takengon’s finest arabica beans take part in a miraculous natural phenomenon that elevates their taste profile to the realm of the sublime.

Kopi Luwak

Sijahtra Farmers
The current small scale farming system, aided by Sumatra region’s unique natural components, sustains Indonesia’s heritage as the origin of some of the finest and varied coffee in the world. At inception we decided we did not want to follow the path of all before us and purchase land from farmers, instead we wanted to enter in to long term buying agreements with farmers for the very best Luwak they found on their farms each month. This allowed them to continue farming as they always had done, but now, after being educated by us to choose the exact Luwak we were looking for, they had the potential to hugely supplement their income, without the risk that if they did not find any that they would go without that month.

Out of a passion for the perfect bean and a dream of producing pure, single origin luwak coffee supported by sustainable and humanitarian practices, we are doing the unprecedented.

Sijahtra Kopi Luwak

Known as the musang in Aceh and the luwak in broader Indonesia, the civet is a cat-like animal indigenous to Sumatra that is potentially the worlds’ best coffee connoisseur. During the night, The Civet by natural instinct seeks out and eats coffee cherries at the peak of their ripeness to provide energy and keep it warm during the night by internal heat produced from fermentation and the caffeine hit.

With senses evolved over generations, these animals are superior to humans when it comes to hand-selecting the best beans, able to distinguish with a keen sense of smell disparities in ripeness on a single branch. While the most perfectly vibrantly ripened cherry pulp is eaten, the civet-digested coffee beans are later expelled whole, still wrapped in their parchment husks, and yield brewed coffee of a most remarkable, luxurious flavour.
