Most of the world drinks Arabica. Malaysia grows mostly Liberica and Robusta, two species that suit the lowlands and the heat, and that give kopi its body and its smoky sweetness.
Liberica
Big, uneven beans with a taste like jackfruit and smoke. Johor grows most of the world’s supply, and we buy ours from a family farm near Batu Pahat.
Robusta
Strong, heavy and low in acid. Grown with care, as it is in Tenom, it is rich and sweet rather than harsh.
We roast both lighter than a traditional kopi roast, without butter or sugar, so you taste the bean. Try them side by side in the café.
