Origin Story
Yolan Tirta
Yolan Tirta, a third-generation coffee producer from South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Building on his family’s long-standing coffee heritage, Yolan founded Yolan Coffee to elevate the quality of Indonesian coffee and empower smallholder farmers in the Topidi-Malino region.
Nestled in the highlands of Gowa, Topidi-Malino offers the perfect conditions for exceptional coffee: cool mountain air, volcanic soil, and abundant rainfall. Yolan works closely with local farmers, providing access to better infrastructure, post-harvest training, and modern processing facilities to ensure consistent, traceable, and high-quality lots.
A key innovation in Yolan’s approach is the hybrid washed process, a refined technique that blends elements of traditional washed and experimental fermentations. By integrating inoculated fermentation, specific strains of yeast are intentionally introduced during processing to guide flavour development. Much like using a chosen yeast in breadmaking, this method allows greater control over fermentation, resulting in a cleaner, more balanced cup with enhanced fruit sweetness and refined structure.
Yolan’s commitment to experimentation and excellence has earned him recognition in Indonesia’s Cup of Excellence competitions, where his coffees from Topidi have ranked among the nation’s best. Through Yolan Coffee, he continues to inspire and mentor local farmers, merging innovation with tradition to redefine the potential of Indonesian specialty coffee.
