Kopi Es Tak Kie

your first sip of kopi es tak kie's wet-hulled mandheling hits like earth after rain. this jakarta roastery knows sumatra's volcanic soils better than most, coaxing out those deep, herbal notes that make indonesian coffee so damn distinctive. the gayo beans carry whispers of cardamom and tobacco leaf. their java cups smell like dark chocolate melting on hot stone. tak kie doesn't sanitize these wild, funky flavors. they celebrate them.
