Aroasteryinthehills.

Single-origin coffee from West Java, Aceh and Toraja — roasted in small batches above the Cigadung valley. Slow, careful, and a little obsessive.

03 · The Story

Two people, one drum roaster, a steep driveway.

Arif and Maya left their Jakarta tech jobs in the middle of 2022 with a 12 kg roaster, a borrowed van, and a lease on a half-collapsed kiosk on Jalan Cigadung. The plan was simple: source coffee they actually wanted to drink, and serve it the way they’d want it served to them — without the theatre, without the gatekeeping.

Three years later they’re still here. The roaster is the same. The kiosk has a roof now. They source from eight farmer cooperatives across Aceh, West Java and Toraja, and Maya bakes the kelapa caramel cookies from her grandmother’s recipe every Sunday night. Arif still climbs the highlands twice a year to taste at origin. The drum still smells like jasmine on Tuesdays.
