Articles on Indonesia Specialty Coffee are written and reviewed by our own cupping, sourcing, and compliance teams — never outsourced. Every piece can be traced back to lab records and farm visits.
Six contributors — Q Graders, origin specialists, a compliance lead, and an editor — writing from cupping sessions in Medan and farm visits to Aceh, Toraja, and Flores.
Head of Sourcing
Leads lot selection from supplier to Medan warehouse. 10+ years sourcing specialty coffee across Sumatra.
Origin Specialist · Aceh
The link to Gayo and Mandailing farmer groups. Profile notes from Bener Meriah to Takengon all run through his desk.
Senior Q Grader
Sensory analyst on the Medan cupping bench. CQI-licensed. Specializes in Toraja, Bali Kintamani, and Flores Bajawa profiles.
Origin Specialist · Sumatra
Field officer for the Pakpak Bharat plantation and Mandailing farmer network. Writes from daily farm journals.
Articles on specialtycoffee.id go through four verification stages as strict as sample evaluation on the cupping bench.
The author is a Q Grader, sourcer, or compliance lead — never a ghostwriter or content farm.
Cupping scores, defect counts, and elevation data are matched against the original lab sheets before publishing.
A second Q Grader signs off on sensory and technical claims before publication.
Articles tied to a specific crop are updated and timestamped at the start of every new cropping season.
