The People Behind Your Coffee

EP #6: Normal is boring: Producing extraordinary coffee in Indonesia


Listen Later

We speak today with Wildan Mustofa from Java Frinsa Estate, a coffee producer from Indonesia. You may have tried their coffees already through roasters like Muttley and Jack, Rocket Bean, Friedhats, or PALE, who were included in our January 2021 box with one of Wildan's coffees. 

This is a relatively short discussion but it packs a punch - we discuss the challenges of coffee producers in Indonesia, we learn how Wildan's lactic coffee processing aims to replicate the profile of Kopi Luwak but without the animals, and we also learn about a new process (still unnamed) which is based on the protein fermentation used in the typical Indonesian superfood Tempeh. 

During the conversation we happen to find out we had already tried one of his coffees during our honeymoon in Indonesia three years ago, which was pretty exciting! 

Listen up for all this and much more!
