One of the cleanest coffees we've roasted this season.
Produced by nationally recognised producer Yolan Tirta in Topidi Village, Malino, Sulawesi, this washed lot comes from his freshest harvest. A classic expression of Indonesian washed coffee, it highlights the precision and care behind Yolan's approach to cultivation and processing.
In the cup, expect remarkable clarity with notes of crisp Asian pear, palm sugar, and an intriguing savoury character reminiscent of fresh tomato vines. Its vibrant acidity and sweetness evoke the profile of a great Kenyan coffee, while still expressing the distinct character of Malino.
Roasted light for filter, Malino Orchard is a beautifully transparent coffee that celebrates the elegance of a traditional washed process. Clean, balanced, and effortlessly drinkable, it's the kind of coffee you'll keep coming back to.

Roasting
We roast our filter coffees light and our espresso coffees medium-light to showcase the unique character of each coffee.
Our philosophy is simple: light, but well developed - preserving origin flavours while bringing out sweetness, balance, and the coffee's full flavour potential.
Grinding
We grind all of our coffee on the Lagom 01, widely regarded as one of the highest-clarity coffee grinders available today.
Kopi Tubruk Grind
Our Kopi Tubruk grind is a coarse grind designed for the traditional Indonesian brewing method, Kopi Tubruk. Simple, accessible, and requiring minimal equipment, it's one of the easiest ways to enjoy specialty coffee at home.
To brew, simply add 15g of coffee to 225g of hot water (1:15 ratio), allow it to steep for 4 minutes, then remove any excess floating grounds before drinking. That's it.
Why we chose this coffee
We've always been drawn to Yolan Tirta's coffees for one simple reason: they're consistently some of the cleanest coffees coming out of Indonesia. Year after year, his meticulous approach to farming and processing produces coffees with remarkable clarity, making his work stand out in a region often known for heavier, earthier profiles.
This washed lot is no exception. It's exceptionally clean, vibrant, and incredibly easy to drink, making it the kind of coffee we'd happily brew every day.
What excites us most is its balance of sweetness, bright acidity, and a subtle savoury note that reminds us of fresh tomato vines. It's a profile that challenges expectations and showcases just how refined, refreshing, and expressive Indonesian coffee can be.
