We shared the start of the season with a communal prayer and meal, and we even climbed the volcano together. For us, this coffee is a return to a place where we truly felt like part of the family.
THE STATION’S STORY
Kevin and Kenny entered coffee from the closest perspective, as customers. Running a café taught them to understand what people are looking for in coffee. Roasting pushed them to think about the raw material. And the raw material brought them straight to Mt. Ijen.
Today, they run a processing center in Botolinggo Village, built in a space that was originally meant for rice processing. Kevenka works with 500 farmers across five areas on Ijen. Cherries are collected through local collectors and brought into central processing. Kevin also completed Q Processing Level 3 in Colombia to deepen knowledge and improve their processes.
They see technology as a tool, not as the goal. They invested in a color-sorting machine for cherries, which helps them accept more consistent, riper fruit without pushing farmers into impossible requirements. For the 2025 season, they also added a mechanical dryer to help finish drying in the humid conditions typical for this area.
HOW THE COFFEE IS PROCESSED
Kevenka processes this coffee using a washed method, one of the cleanest ways to let the flavor move straight from the bean into the cup.
Cherries are picked ripe and, right after they arrive in Botolinggo, they go through the first sorting, washing, and separation by density and color. Then the skin is removed and the beans ferment for about 24 hours. Fermentation helps naturally loosen the remaining mucilage from the surface of the bean. After fermentation, the coffee is thoroughly rinsed and moved to drying.
Drying takes 7 to 10 days. If needed, it is finished in a mechanical dryer at temperatures below 40 °C. After that comes hulling, sorting by size, density, and color, and finally a last quality check before packing and export.
VARIETY
Several varieties are grown on Ijen: Komasti, Andungsari, Bourbon, and Kartika. It is a mix typical for Indonesian producing regions, where different varieties have adapted to local conditions over time. In the cup, that shows in its range, from fruity notes to tea-like character, and into softer caramel and chocolate undertones.
We work with several couriers worldwide, the table HERE specify the conditions for each country.

Why Inza Matters
Inza isn’t just another coffee – it’s a story of resilience and connection. This year, our “dad” Petr traveled there, and even though local unrest nearly kept him from reaching the region, he eventually met the people behind this coffee.
High in the mountains of Cauca, smallholder farmers grow coffee on steep slopes, most of the work done by hand. Their dedication to quality shines through in every cup. For us, Inza is a reminder of their commitment and the strong community that makes Colombian coffee so special. 🤎
