Secangkir kopi asli Wamena dari Rosanti

Alfrida Gombo (kanan) bersama saudaranya, di kafe miliknya di Skyline - Jubi/Agus

Jayapura, Jubi - Bangunan kafe itu terlihat sederhana. Hanya ada dua buah meja lesehan dengan lantai beralaskan karpet merah. Dindingnya dihiasi lukisan dan pernak-pernik khas Papua, ditambah beberapa lampu berwarna-warni.

Pemilik Banana Leaf Cafe di Skyline, Kota Jayapura itu seorang perempuan. Rosanti Alfrida Gombo, perempuan kelahiran Wamena ini, mengaku memiliki menu spesial yang bisa menarik pelanggan.

"Di sini jual Baliem Blue Coffee. Ini kopi Arabika asli Wamena," katanya, Jumat (29/9/2017).

Ia mengatakan karena usahanya baru dimulai, jumlah pelanggan kadang tidak menentu. Sehari jika sedang ramai, ada belasan cangkir kopi yang terjual. Per cangkir ia mematok harga Rp10 ribu.

"Kadang ramai, kadang juga sepi pengunjung. Ini usaha masih baru juga," katanya.

Selama ini ia mengaku dibantu kerabatnya untuk melayani pelanggan. Kafe dibuka dari pukul 9 pagi sampai 10 malam.

"Beruntung ada saudara-saudara saya yang ikut membantu," katanya.

Selain itu, di sekitar kafe ada beberapa pedagang yang setiap harinya menjual kelapa muda. Jadi, kata dia, pilihan pelanggan untuk bersenang-senang di tempat itu ada banyak.

"Hanya saja kalau yang merokok, di luar kafe telah kami sediakan tempat juga," tuturnya.

Usaha kafe yang baru berjalan sejak akhir Mei 2017 tersebut, diakuinya dimulai dengan modal Rp10 juta. Ia mendapatkan sokongan dana dari seorang kerabat yang kebetulan adalah Direktur PAPUAmart.com, sebesar Rp5 juta.

Dikatakan, uang tersebut dipakai merehab bangunan dan membeli kebutuhan kafe, seperti kopi dan lain sebagainya.

"Sementara sisa modal lain dari orang tua saya. Itu dipakai untuk mengganti sewa bangunan dari pemilik sebelumnya," kata perempuan berstatus mahasiswi Jurusan Ekonomi Pembangunan, di Universitas Cenderawasih itu. 

Motivasinya untuk berbisnis kopi, kata dia, karena selama ini OAP dipandang lemah dalam hal berbisnis. Untuk itu ia ingin mencoba sedikit demi sedikit menghapus stigma tersebut.

"Saya juga ingin bantu mewujudkan visi dan misi 'Papua Bangkit untuk Mandiri dan Sejahtera', yang dicanangkan Gubernur Papua Lukas Enembe," terangnya.

Ia mengatakan semangat untuk berbisnis, juga datang dari dukungan teman dan keluarga. Awalnya mereka ragu, akan tetapi setelah melihat kesungguhannya untuk mengelola kafe, dukungan semakin besar ia dapatkan.

"Pada akhirnya mereka semua bangga, melihat saya sebagai anak Papua berani menekuni usaha ini," tutur anak keempat dari lima bersaudara ini.

Diakuinya, niat untuk berbisnis tersebut bukan untuk menjadi pengusaha sukses. Akan tetapi ia hanya ingin membuktikan kalau orang Papua juga bisa.

"Ini bukan untuk mengejar keuntungan. Kalau untung itu sudah bonus. Saya hanya ingin mengajak dan memotivasi teman-teman, kalau kita bisa bersaing di dunia bisnis," kata perempuan yang hobi membaca buku ini, dengan penuh semangat.

Rosanti mengatakan jika nanti ia telah menyelesaikan kuliah, usaha tersebut akan tetap dipertahankannya. Ia berencana usaha kopi tersebut akan dikembangkan hingga ke beberapa wilayah.

"Tidak hanya di Kota Jayapura, kalau bisa di kabupaten dan kota di Papua. Kalau sukses malah bisa dibuka cabang di mana pun di Indonesia," harapnya. (*)

Produksi dari bubuk kopi ini, lanjutnya, dari roasted papua yang diproduksi masih sangat tradisional di daerah baliem. "Kita sistemnya via online," pungkasnya. jee

Epi coffee farmers make first harvest

By Anita Roberts Oct 1, 2016, Vanuatu Daily Post

Epi Coffee Farmrs, Vanuatu

This year marks a milestone for the Mafilau Coffee Farmers Association on the island of Epi since 2012 when it was given 2,000 coffee seedlings to get on its feed just after establishment.

The seedlings were delivered by the Tanna Coffee and Vanuatu Agriculture Department. Four years later, the young and struggling association have celebrated its first harvest of 51kg green beans.

Formed in 2011, this coffee farmers association is headed by a female, Eny Yona.

Providing a stable production of coffee, enhancing the coffee industry and ensuring a steadfast income stream for more farmers in Vanuatu was the idea of supplying the seedlings to the small association, said the Operations Manager of the Tanna Coffee, Yasmine Adlington-Walden.

“We (the Tanna Coffee) have future plans to replicate this success story on many other islands in Vanuatu.

“We are proud of the achievement of the Epi farmers. We will continue to support them as they grow, develop and value add to the country’s coffee industry, said another Tanna Coffee Spokesperson, Nambas Jacob Samuel. Mr Samuel went to the Epi to visit the farmers on Epi and has supplied an addition 32kg of coffee seeds to boost production.

The Mafilau Coffee Farmers Association has also been provided with a coffee pulper machine.

It is a device used to remove the pulp from a coffee cherry after it has been harvested. The cherries are passed through a pulping machine for the skin and pulp to be separated from the coffee bean.

An occasion was held at the village of Mafilau on west Epi to commemorate the first Epi coffee harvest.

Councillor of the west area council, Joseph Merip, who is also the leading cocoa farmer on Epi said the soil on the island is ideal for growing both cocoa and coffee.

“Its high time that the farmers on Epi start growing more cash crops like cocoa, coffee and kava.

“Epi’s coffee flavor is unique, similar to its cocoa”, he added.

The coffee association is small but it is growing slowly, he said.

Defining Sustainability at SCAA Expo

By The Specialty Coffee Chronicle on July 19, 2016

By Miguel Zamora

Defining what “sustainable coffee” means has been a challenge for the coffee industry. This is also an opportunity for all of us working in coffee: to define what we mean with sustainability in coffee and communicate this to our customers and consumers, while channeling our resources towards true “sustainability”.

In reality, answering the question: “What is sustainability?” for coffee might require broad participation all over the supply chain and broad consensus. The panel supported by the Sustainability Council of the SCAA and moderated by the SCAA Director of Sustainability, Kim Elena Ionescu, discussed this question.

There were voices in the discussion that asked for drawing a line between what is “sustainable” and what is “conventional”. We are all somewhere on that line, but it might be important to define where the line crosses into the “sustainable” side. Other voices highlighted that “sustainability” might be a journey, and we should try to highlight how we are doing on that journey.

The panel discussed how we have a success story with “specialty coffee.” The term and the definition of what “specialty” means is clearer to consumers and companies now more than ever. We could build something similar for “sustainable coffee” and define and promote what we mean with that.

The panelists are working on this issue from different perspectives. Bambi Seamroc and Conservation International are working with the Sustainable Coffee Challenge, an initiative that brings coffee roasters, importers and NGO’s together to try to raise the demand for sustainable coffee and make coffee the first sustainable agricultural product. The initiative is trying to create a safe space for industry to discuss what we mean with “sustainable coffee.”

But defining what sustainable coffee means is just a step. James Barsimantov from SupplyShift highlighted that we need to be able to measure progress and compare information to have a bigger chance to make progress on making the coffee sector truly sustainable.

Felipe Croce from Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza in Brazil asked “what is the value of sustainability for farmers?” It is not necessarily financial, in practice, because farmers get to implement many of the sustainability practices that the industry demands without necessarily being properly rewarded for that work.

Consumers might be willing to pay for quality coffee but not necessarily for sustainability. There are other benefits that farmers can get from their work towards a more sustainable coffee, but having a clearer way to define, measure and identify how sustainable the practices of a farmer are, can help farmers to get more value from their sustainability efforts.

Sitting at this panel I thought about the many times I have heard (and said) that sustainability is a journey. Many people agree it can be a journey, in a way. But a journey to where? If we are not clear about what our destination is, how do we really know we are making progress? The sustainability challenges farmers and the coffee industry face will grow and be more pressing in the future. Climate change, profitability of coffee farming, the situation of farmworkers in coffee, and other critical issues will not be solved individually. They require sector-wide approaches, collaboration and participation of all the links in the supply chain. Having a clear north star and definition of where we want to go and how we measure progress is a necessary step to have a chance to get there in the future.

Miguel Zamora is the Head of Americas Region for UTZ and current Chair of the SCAA Sustainability Council. Miguel has been involved in agriculture for over 20 years. His work focuses on building and strengthening sustainable supply chains while creating opportunities for sustainable trade between farming communities and the coffee industry. Miguel is a board member of Food 4 Farmers. He holds an Agricultural Engineering degree from Zamorano University in Honduras and a Masters in Agricultural Economics from Michigan State University.

2016 03 07 HUT Numbay

Bailem Arabica Coffee should be able to Produce 300 tons Papua Coffee per year

However, the reality is that only 10 tons per year that is normally produced by the Baliem Arabica Cooperative, the only local exporter based in West Papua, Indonesia’s New Guinea.

“This is due to the lack of support from various parties in Papua Province,” says the chair of Baliem Arabica Cooperative, Ev. Selion Karoba, B.Th. He argues that many money from the Special Autonomy dedicated to assist Papuan entrepreneurs has been spent for physical infrastructure development and for corruption among the elites, causing entrepreneurship in West Papua facing huge difficulty in expanding businesses.

According to Mr. Karoba, the coop is now entering into its 10th year since it was established in 2007, it has been exporting to international markets since 2009, and the coop is the only standardized coffee producer that holds RA Certifications and CU Certifications, member of the SCAI and SCAA, however, the government has not yet done its parts in order to assist this community-based business entity. This cooperative is the only in West Papua that holds these certifications, and also member of the Indonesian Coffee Exporter Association (AEKI).

Mr. Karoba sees the future of coffee industry in West Papua is uncertain as the government has done almost nothing to assist the cooperative in developing the coffee industry on this part of the Island.

Most of Indonesia`s coffee exports go to U.S.

Thu, July 11 2013 20:51

Jakarta (ANTARA News) – Most of Indonesia`s coffee exports have gone to the US which is one of the countries that has high coffee consumption rate.

“Around 85 to 90 percent of our coffee exports are absorbed by the US market,” an official of the Directorate General of Foreign Trade of the ministry of foreign affairs, Zulfikar, said at a press conference at the Indonesian Coffee Festival here on Thursday.

In 2012 his office recorded Indonesia`s coffee exports reached 320 tons or increased by eight percent from last year.

He said the US is one of the world`s biggest potential coffee market although that country is not among the world`s biggest coffee consumers.

However “compared to other countries, the US is one of the biggest coffee consumer,” he said.

Emphasizing the US potential, he said, if 200 million of around 320 million of its population drink two cups of coffee a day coffee consumption in the US would be huge.

Zulfikar said his office had pushed coffee producing centers in the country to increase their productivity because “our productivity is still low compared to that of other countries.”

Productivity in Indonesia is estimated at only one tons per hectare while that of Vietnam has reached four tons, he said.

“We can catch up. We still have a lot of lands for coffee plantations,” he said.

Right now coffee plantations in the country are recorded at 1.3 million hectares spreading in Aceh, North Sumatra, Lampung, West Java, Central Java, Bali, East Nusa Tenggara, South Sulawesi and Papua.

A Recipe For “The Perfect Cup”!

SO… How can you find the world’s best coffee,
at a reasonable price, and then enjoy it with absolute overflowing satisfaction?

English: Roasted coffee beans photographed using a macro technique. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Ok, Ok, so What EXACTLY IS the World’s Best Coffee?

There are six factors to consider when searching for “The Perfect Cup”, at least two of which are often overlooked. The good news is that the path to “Coffee Nirvana” is real. I mean, at least in my humble opinion, it does exist. The bad news is…you can screw it up almost anywhere along the way! (Much like life, grasshoppoh…) The factors are as follows:

1) Your coffee roaster/retailer must start with the very best quality green coffee beans obtainable.

2) It must be purchased fresh roasted AND whole bean from a reputable roasting company.

3) You must know what your favorite coffees are.

4) It must be properly stored.

5) It must be properly ground.

6) It must be properly brewed.

New standard required for PNG specialty coffee – expert

By JAMES KILA

THERE is greater need for an approved specialty coffee standard in Papua New Guinea if producers are to benefit financially in the international gourmet coffee market trade.

That was the advice by a visiting international coffee expert from Japan, Hidetaka Hayashi during a two-day visit to Goroka, Eastern Highlands province.

Mr Hayashi is the executive director of the Specialty Coffee Association of Japanese and a World renown coffee taster with a long history dating back to 1962. He is also a member of five international panel of judges in the “Cup of Excellence Program”, started by the International Trade Centre (ITC) in 1999 following interests from the world’s quality conscious roasters.

Mr Hayashi’s trip to PNG was organised by Japan External Trade Organisation (JETRO) in collaboration with the Investment Promotion Authority (IPA) and the Coffee Industry Corporation (CIC).

Mr Hayashi spent two days in Eastern Highlands where he visited the CIC’s research division at Aiyura as well as coffee estates in the Kainantu area. He also conducted two workshops on Tuesday attended by smallholder producers and exporters respectively.

He also had an opportunity to taste coffee samples from around the country and make expert assessment on the cup taste to determine flavour and quality of the coffee.

Mr Hayashi in his presentation stated that there are different criteria to judge and differentiate specialty coffee from the common or traditional coffee. The criteria and cupping form for the common coffee which is currently practiced by PNG are to check and examine defects and taints of coffee, mainly and accurately. On the other hand, specialty coffee is judged and differentiated by flavour profile of cup quality.

Additionally, Mr Hayashi request PNG coffee producers to be cautious in cultivating their coffee and apply correct harvesting and processing techniques to maintain quality from seed to the green bean.

He stated that the common coffee in the current world trade is under severe competition from high commercial premium coffee and specialty coffee.

According to Mr Hayashi, the current main-stream market which the industry is targeting for the common coffee is stagnant, therefore, an option PNG should look at is specialty markets in the United States and Japan which is on an upward trend.

The Chief Executive Officer of the CIC, Ricky Mitio in his welcome address on Tuesday stated that the CIC is not trying to jeopardise the existing traditional markets. However, priority is placed on quality as an avenue to getting premium price to producers.

“In order to escape the declining trend in the traditional market, improvement of quality level is very necessary,” Mr Mitio stated.

Managing Director of the Kongo Coffee Limited, a nationally own coffee exporting company in his address urged local PNG producers to organize themselves to connect to the specialty market.

Mr Kapka stated that Mr Hayashi is a very important person in the world specialty coffee trade and the coffee industry in the country must acknowledge the contribution he is making, especially his advice.

Kongo Coffee was able to break into the tough Japanese specialty coffee market through technical assistance from Mr Hayashi.

Tue, April 30 2013 17:34 | AntaraNews.com

London (ANTARA News) – Some Indonesian coffee producers have participated in London Coffee Festival (LCF) held at The Old Truman Brewery, Brick Lane, here, April 25 to 28, 2013.

Trade Attache of the Indonesian Embassy in London Merry Maryati said here on Tuesday, Indonesia was one of the world`s biggest coffee producers in the LCF that brought some special coffees like Flores coffee from Bajawa, Flores, East Nusa Tenggara and Baliem Coffee from Papua as well as other various of robusta and arabica types.

Bandung to host “Road to Indonesia Coffee Festival”

Thu, December 15 2011 00:42 | Antara News.com

Bandung, W.Java (ANTARA News) – Bandung, West Java`s provincial capital, will host a Road to Indonesia Coffee Festival on December 23, 2011, as a precursor to an Indonesian Coffee Festival in Bali next year, the event`s initiator said.

“Bandung which was the first region in Indonesia to host ​coffee plantations will have the honor of hosting the Road to Indonesia Coffee festival,” Yanthi Tambunan said here Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the Indonesian Coffee Festival will be held in Bali in early 2012. The festival was expected to be a haven for coffee lovers in Indonesia.

According to Yanthi, Bandung was chosen to host the Indonesian Coffee Festival`s pre-event because of its history in coffee cultivation and trade that had brought it high prestige.

Bandung also played a significance role in the development of coffee in Indonesia because the first coffee plantations in Indonesia were established in the Bandung region by Peter Eugelhard during the Dutch colonial period, Coffee grown in the Bandung region later became known world-wide as Java Coffee, she said.

Based on this history, Bandung which has a cold climate, had a great potentials for coffee business both packaged coffee and coffee treats in cafes.

“The Road to Indonesia Coffee Festival will educate the public about coffee,” Yanthi said.

Indonesia is currently the world`s biggest coffee producer after Brazil and Vietnam. Indonesia`s current coffee production stands at 200 thousand tons per year.

Ideally with this high production Indonesia no longer needed to import coffee. With growth of 10 percent of the local production, it would be sufficient to meet the domestic needs, Yanthi said.

“Indonesia`s coffee export potential is still large including to Japan, Germany, Italy, UK and U.S. However, usually the coffee exported comes back to Indonesia under a foreign label,” she said.

The current upswing in the coffee price was related from the rainy season. The coffee price in the market was now around Rp80.000 per kilogram. (*)

Bali to host Indonesian coffee festival

Nurfika Osman, The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Bali | Tue, August 28 2012, 6:46 PM

Bali is to host the Indonesian Coffee Festival in Ubud on Sept. 15 to 16 this year to better promote Indonesian coffee and make the country a coffee hub for the world.

Tourism and Creative Economy Deputy Minister Sapta Nirwandar said that the festival would be one of the most important tourist events of 2012 as the ministry was currently developing culinary tourism.

“Cuisine, including coffee, is strongly related to tourism, and Indonesian coffee is among the best in the world. Thus, we want more people to know our coffee better by conducting this festival,” Sapta told reporters in Jakarta on Tuesday.

“We also want to make kopi tubruk [ground coffee beans served with scalding hot water] and kopi luwak [civet coffee] more popular through the festival.”

Tuti Mochtar, a member of the festival committee, who is also a coffee producer, said there would be 40 booths in the festival serving all kinds of coffee varieties from across the country from Aceh to Papua.

In addition, she said the festival would be a place for coffee farmers, coffee producers, the Indonesian chamber of commerce and industry (Kadin) and some of the world’s best coffee distributors to meet.

“This is a good promotional tool for our coffee and we believe the event will be successful,” she said.

She said the people who came to the festival could participate in coffee and barista workshops.

“We will also have an agricultural tourism program by visiting a coffee plantation in Ubud,” she added. (swd)

Papua Arabica and Papua Robusta: Arabica is more Familiar

According to Selion Karoba, the chair of Koperasi Serba Usaha Baliem Arabica (Bailem Arabica Cooperative), western half of New Guinea (Papua and Papua Barat provinces of Indonesia) is more familiar with Arabica coffee.

Karoba notes

Papuan people know coffee is arabica. Even they will call coffee equals to arabica, and when you give them a robusta coffee, they will say, this arabica coffee is called robusta. Coffee is not separated from Arabica in the understanding of all Papuans.

When asked about whether or not this part of the world has some Robusta Coffee plantation, Karoba says that there are some Robusta Coffee trees around, but we cannot categorize them as plantation, because there are only a few trees around. For example, we can see robusta coffee trees around the Baliem Blue Coffee Warehouse in Kampung Harapan, Sentani Timur, Jayapura, Papua Province.

Theese Robusta Coffee trees were planted by the Kampung Harapan Agriculture Vocational School (SPMA Kampung Harapan) just as samples for teaching the students. They also have some coco trees in the same areas.

Karoba says,

There is also a need for Robusta Coffee plantation, but we need to properly manage arabica business and expand more into the highlands, before even thinking about robusta coffee. We need to optimize outcome of what we have first before talking about what we do not have right now. 

Robusta Coffee is not that familiar. Arabica coffee is familiar all around the Isle of New Guinea.

Papua Arabica consists of Many SIngle Origins

Papua Arabica Coffee consists of many single origins, but in Indonesia it is regarded as one single origin, that is, Papua Single Origin.

By the way, Papua is three times England in size, but coffee plantations and coffee business have been unknown until recently. In western part of New Guinea, Papua and Papua Barat provinces, it is only since 2007 that people here started doing business with coffee trees that we already have here since the Dutch colonial era.

They Dutch colonial power planted the coffee, but they did not explain how to process the coffee. Papuans knew that it was coffee, but we did not know how to process it from the forests into a cup of coffee.

After tens of years, then in 2007 a cooperative was set up in the highlands of West Papua (Papua province) under the assistance of AMARTA - USAID.

The coop Chair Ev. Selion Karoba, S.Th. says since then the Coop has exported Green Beans, Wamena Single Origin to the United States. Official export was made by the provincial government in December 2009, in Makasar International Port.

Mr. Karoba says, we only export Wamena Single Origin today, but we are looking forward to export many other single origins in years to come, such as follows

1. Wamena Single Origin
2. Dogiyai Single Origin
3. Goroka Single Origin
4. Deiyai Single Origin
5. Arfak Single Origin
6. Hagen Single Origin
7. Sigri Single Origin
8. Star Mountains Single Origin

and many others.

USAID and PT.Freeport Support Cocoa Development in Papua

AMARTA-PADA grantee, Baliem Arabica Cooperative passed inspection by the CERES organization and received Organic Certification status. 9 OCTOBER 2009

Recently, AMARTA-PADA grantee, Baliem Arabica Cooperative passed inspection by the CERES organization and received Organic Certification status. This means that the coffee farmers who are members of the Cooperative successfully demonstrated their comprehension and compliance in growing their coffee organically. In the next quarter the Cooperative members will be inspected by another independent organization, the Rainforest Alliance to ensure the coffee farmers comply with additional rules and regulations. These internationally recognized certifications provide a stamp of approval for the international community and result in a premium price for the Cooperative’s coffee.

The Cooperative also recently gained two new customers interested in purchasing Baliem Valley Arabica coffee. The Amungme Gold Coffee Company, which owns a roasting and packaging facility in Timika recently completed a deal to purchase one ton of green bean coffee, with the possibility to increase the volume in the future.

The second customer is PT. Pangansari Utama, which is the catering company at PT. Freeport Indonesia who agreed to buy 12 tons of roasted coffee from the Cooperative per year, or one ton a month, at a price of Rp54,000 per kg. The profit from both deals will go straight to the farmers’ Cooperative to continue buying coffee at a fair price and provide technical and material assistance as needed to the coffee farmers throughout the Baliem Valley.
