A string of mountains runs across Bali, giant calderas and towering volcanoes, giving the island its rugged highland centre. As one ascends to these peaks, the altitude rises and temperatures drop, and just at a certain sweet spot up the mountains, Bali coffee trees find their home.

On the slopes that climb towards the Batur Caldera of Kintamani, one will find Desa Manikliyu, an agriculture village overgrowing with oranges. Deep within this maze of orchards is where Tanamera Indonesia harvests, selects and processes their specialty coffee beans from Bali.

“The quality of coffee is determined from the moment the cherry is harvested,” explains Tanamera’s Master Roaster and Director, John Lee. “That’s why we are involved in every step of the process, from crop to cup.” It is this philosophy that has John on the road for at least a third of the year, tasked to quality control all of Tanamera’s partner farms across Indonesia, from Aceh to Tanah Toraja to Papua.

Founded in 2013 by Indonesian businesswomen, Dini Aryani Criddle, the vision for starting Tanamera was to uplift the reputation of Indonesian coffee. She was dismayed by how low the quality of Indonesian-produced coffee was, despite being the world’s second biggest coffee exporter, and being blessed with all the right ingredients to grow a spectacular crop.

Meaning ‘red earth’, an homage to the country’s fertile soils, Tanamera’s mission is clear: to realise the true potential of Indonesian specialty coffee, and help each coffee producing region to develop its own identity to international recognition. This requires development at the very roots of the industry, on the farms and with the farmers, just as they do here in Bali.

“Our biggest challenge is changing the mindset of local Bali coffee farmers,” explains John. “There is still a mindset of quantity over quality.” This is of course an ingrained symptom of Indonesia’s mass commodity coffee industry, also culpable for Indonesia’s poor coffee reputation in the past. John works directly with the farmers, educating them on when to harvest, spotting ripeness, how to process and preserve, and significantly, fostering patience to secure a higher quality for a better price.

John explains that with commercial-grade coffee, cherries are often ripped off branch-by-branch, whilst specialty coffee requires careful selection and picking. In the beginning of their operations, many beans were rejected from partner farms in the area, requiring further education.

One of the earliest adopters was Wayan Nengah, the head of the farming cooperative in Manikliyu Village, where around 100 separate farms are found. He has worked with Tanamera for eight years now, managing the brand’s own processing site deep in these Kintamani valleys. This is where the high-grade arabica beans, once selected (i.e. approved) by Tanamera, go through a fully washed process. This involves floating, pulping, water, two-day fermentation, final washing in pure mountain spring waters before a series of drying.

The result is a rich and flavourful arabica coffee, known for its citrusy, chocolatey notes, with a hint of caramel. This unique profile is owing to the volcanic soil, and perhaps the orange groves interspersed between the coffee trees. These are the rich characteristics that regional beans bring, if cultivated well. Each region displaying their own unique notes: Aceh Gayo’s full-body and bitter characteristics, or Toraja’s spice, herbs and more floral attributes.

Tanamera is considered quite a boutique producer, with their Kintamani farms producing a yield of only 20-30 tons of beans a harvest – with only a single harvest time per year. This is the trade-off when being highly selective and producing specialty coffee.

Their efforts have not been in vain. The brand has earned over 51 international awards for their specialty Indonesian coffee, and have been instrumental in raising the profile and farmer capacity of individual regions. Tanamera’s Kintamani coffee beans score on average between 83 or 84, officially recognising it a ‘specialty coffee’, along with other regions covered by the brand.

With a store in Singapore, Tanamera reaches an international market of discerning drinkers. But an equal measure of success has been the mindset shift domestically, where Indonesian consumers are proud to drink, source and serve homegrown beans.

“Indonesia is in the ‘Third Wave’ of coffee, close to entering the ‘Fourth Wave’, I believe,” shares John, referring to the evolution of coffee culture and adoption in regions. The third wave is described as an embrace of artisan roasters defined by the ‘craft’, with consumers having a higher expectation of their served cup. The Fourth Wave, gets more technical, and sees in-house roasters as a common feature for cafés, as one might find in Japan.

Of course, ensuring the quality of coffee beans is just the first part of the process; the next is the art of roasting. Here in Bali, Tanamera does this in their outlet on Sunset Road, where visitors can taste their specialty coffee straight from source, as well as explore a full dining menu and other products by this homegrown brand.

Used by five-star resorts, restaurants, cafés across Indonesia, you can taste their Kintamani or other Indonesian specialty coffees at the Tanamera Sunset Road outlet, or head to their website to purchase and find out more.

Motivated by a vision to elevate Indonesia’s coffee scene, Dini Criddle founded Tanamera Coffee in 2013. In this exclusive interview, she reveals the meticulous process and unwavering commitment to quality in offering exceptional specialty coffees that have earned the brand international acclaim, including its promising future in the international market.

Q: Can you tell us about the journey that led you to create Tanamera Coffee?

A: Growing up in Indonesia, coffee was always around me. But in Australia, I saw a thriving coffee scene, fuelled with high-quality beans. It felt like a missed opportunity for Indonesia, which was home to some of the world’s best plantations. I envisioned Tanamera Coffee as a symbol of the lava flowing from the volcanoes, enriching the red land – the name was derived from Indonesian word for land (tanah) and red (merah).

Q: Tanamera Coffee has garnered numerous international awards. Can you share some insights into how you built a brand that consistently delivers quality and stands out in a competitive market?

A: Our core values are passion and quality. So we start from the beginning, partnering with farmers, ensuring meticulous care for their crops, hand-picking only the ripest cherries and then processing them with daily oversight for weeks. Back at the roastery, we have experts that use cutting-edge tech to unlock each bean’s unique flavour profile. This consistency makes us constantly innovate to keep our award-winning coffee exciting.

Q: Your vision for Tanamera Coffee includes expanding internationally. What strategies have you employed to achieve this, and what obstacles have you encountered along the way?

A: The Indonesian archipelago offers a wide range of flavours, with notes of chocolate, caramel, citrus and many more – a fact that the international market is often unaware of. While maintaining our core brand values, we have to adapt our offerings to the local preferences of different markets. We have encountered obstacles such as navigating different regulatory environments, facing the high fixed cost of Singapore, and overcoming preconceived notions about Indonesian coffee.

Q: Could you elaborate on the importance of maintaining close relationships with coffee farmers and the impact your initiatives, such as the farm processing model, have had on their livelihoods?

A: It is vital; we see farmers not just as suppliers, but as valuable partners in our journey to bring out the best in Indonesia’s exceptional coffee. This shared vision of success is the driving force behind everything we do. Initiatives such as our on-farm processing model are a testament to this commitment. We provide capital, training, resources and facilities, helping to improve the health and wealth of the farmer community. By empowering farmers with the tools and knowledge they need, we ensure a sustainable future for both their livelihoods and the quality of our coffee.

Q: In what ways does Tanamera Coffee differentiate itself from other coffee chains, particularly in terms of sourcing, processing and roasting beans?

A: Unlike many chains that offer generic blends, we specialise in single-origin beans from various renowned regions of the archipelago, allowing coffee lovers to experience the unique flavour profiles of Sumatra, Bali, Java, Sulawesi and beyond. Tanamera Coffee is truly crop to cup; we are fully immersed in the day-to-day operations, and since winning the Champion International Roaster in Melbourne twice, we have focused on enhancing both the quality and quantity of specialty coffee. Additionally, our rapidly growing wholesale business supplies our specialty coffees to different industries, including hotels, restaurants and cafes.

Q: As a leader, how do you foster motivation and collaboration within your team, especially considering the demanding nature of the coffee business?

A: We do that through growth opportunities, open communication and a focus on work-life balance. Offering competitive benefits and celebrating wellbeing helps create a happy, healthy team. We encourage leaders to explore Indonesian coffee heritage, attend cupping sessions and understand our farmers’ dedication, fostering a shared purpose. Recognising individual achievements and collective efforts is also key to maintaining a motivated team.

Q: Looking ahead, what are your aspirations for Tanamera Coffee, both domestically and internationally, and how do you plan to achieve them?

A: We plan to expand our footprint across Southeast Asia, particularly in Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia. We are also assessing other markets for potential expansion, though our immediate focus remains on strengthening our presence in these three countries. We will continue to launch new cafés in strategic locations, showcasing the diversity of Indonesian specialty coffee. For our wholesale business, we aim to grow in each country we operate and pursue export opportunities. Our journey is about sharing our passion for Indonesian specialty coffee, cup by cup.

Tanamera Coffee’s journey began with Founder & CEO Dini Criddle’s dream to make Indonesia famous for its specialty coffee. Founded in 2013, Tanamera Coffee opened its first small café and roastery in Thamrin City Office Park, Jakarta. This café was unique, featuring a coffee roaster inside and a set up where baristas and roasters interacted directly with customers, explaining the intricacies of each coffee served. The mission has always been to bring out the very best that Indonesia has to offer. Like the red volcanic soil from which the name is derived, the archipelago boasts rich, fertile soils perfect for growing specialty coffee.

At the heart of Tanamera Coffee’s identity is an unwavering commitment to quality. The roastery meticulously sources its specialty coffee beans through direct collaboration with local farmers, ensuring the very best in specialty coffee. This approach promotes sustainable cultivation methods, providing for the health and financial wellbeing of the entire farming community. By fostering these direct relationships, Tanamera Coffee guarantees the finest beans while supporting the livelihoods of Indonesian farming communities.

Director and Master Roaster John Lee is at the forefront of these efforts, dedicating around four months each year to travel and source specialty-grade Arabica beans directly from farmers. These farmers often

operate small plots in remote, hard-to reach areas, but this meticulous sourcing process ensures that Tanamera Coffee obtains unique and distinctive flavours. The journey from crop to cup involves Tanamera Coffee being present at every step: planting, maintaining, cherry-picking, processing, roasting and brewing. This hands-on approach guarantees the highest quality and consistency for every batch of coffee.

Tanamera Coffee embraces Indonesia’s cultural diversity, spanning across an archipelago of 17,000 islands with a sevenhour flight from one side to the other. This vastness results in distinct coffees and cultural norms, reflected in Tanamera’s specialty single origins and blends. From the bold Sumatra Mandheling to the bright Java Preanger, each cup tells a unique story. Whether it’s a traditional pour-over or an espresso shot from a top-end Slayer machine, Tanamera delivers a sensory journey like no other.

Indonesian coffees are renowned for their wide variety of flavours, offering a rich and complex tasting experience. Tanamera’s coffees are no exception, showcasing fullbodied, intense, smooth, sweet and syrupy profiles. The tasting notes span chocolate, caramel, hazelnut, blackberry jam, tobacco, spicy, herbaceous and citrus flavours. This diverse range highlights the exciting and delicious potential of Indonesian coffee.

Tanamera Coffee’s dedication to quality and innovation has earned it international acclaim. Since its inception in 2013, Tanamera Coffee has participated in the Melbourne International Coffee Expo, winning the Champion International Roaster Award in 2015 and 2016, triumphing over 800 entries worldwide. To date, Tanamera’s coffee beans have won 51 awards. In 2018, the company began working closely with local farmers, providing education and improving coffee processing facilities. The following year, Tanamera Coffee shipped its first batch of Indonesian Arabica Specialty Green Beans to Moscow, Russia. In 2020, under the direction of Director and Singapore CEO, Ronald Liong, the first international outlet opened in Singapore. The growth continued in 2021 with new outlets, including a new headquarters and roastery in Seminyak, Bali. In 2022, Tanamera Coffee opened additional outlets in Singapore and the first outlet in Manado, Sulawesi. By 2023, Tanamera Coffee had become the official coffee partner for major events, continuing its expansion with new outlets in Surabaya, Singapore and Malaysia.

Beyond delivering exceptional coffee, Tanamera Coffee is deeply committed to environmental sustainability. The brand follows key principles of waste management: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. By implementing eco-friendly practices throughout its supply chain, from ethical sourcing to responsible packaging, Tanamera Coffee minimises its ecological footprint. Tanamera also collaborates with skincare specialist Sensatia Botanicals to create a body scrub using used coffee grounds and offers 100 percent home-compostable, Nespresso-compatible coffee capsules.

Fair trade and sustainability are the core values of Tanamera Coffee. The company believes that high-quality coffee starts with the environment and the farmers who cultivate it. The brand works closely with farmers to provide fair deals and better prices while also offering education on international specialty coffee standards. This collaborative approach improves both the quality and quantity of coffee produced and enhances the financial well-being of the farmers. Furthermore, Tanamera Coffee constantly researches and implements new farming practices to increase efficiency and sustainability, ensuring the long-term viability of coffee production for future generations.

Beyond its commitment to farmers, Tanamera Coffee also focuses on the welfare and development of its growing team. From front-of-house staff to the roastery team, the company values good communication, welfare, and diversity. This inclusive approach fosters a positive work environment and contributes to the brand’s success.

Tanamera Coffee

In the world of coffee, few countries boast a heritage as rich and storied as Indonesia’s, an archipelago home to 17,000 islands and diverse coffeegrowing regions. While being a major coffee producer, Indonesia is lesser known for its speciality coffee. Recognising this, Dini Aryani Criddle, founder and CEO of Tanamera Coffee, saw an opportunity to elevate Indonesian coffee to international fame. Tanamera Coffee was born as a testament to Criddle’s vision of showcasing Indonesia’s unique coffee flavours and traditions to the world.

Beyond its exceptional coffee, Tanamera Coffee is committed to environmental sustainability. Its eco-friendly ethos permeates every stage of its supply chain, from ethical sourcing to responsible packaging.

The brand’s unique partnership with Indonesian skincare specialist Sensatia to create a body scrub using used coffee grounds not only reduces waste, but also highlights the potential for creative and sustainable solutions in the coffee industry. Tanamera Coffee has achieved international acclaim for its Indonesian speciality coffee, winning numerous awards.

Dini Criddle and her husband enjoy coffee and, having lived and travelled a lot through Australia, Asia Pacific and Europe could see a big difference in the quality of coffee to what was then being served in Indonesia. “This was the beginning of the third Wave of Coffee,” Dini says. “Small batch artisan coffee roasters inside cafes where the roaster aims for perfection from every batch of coffee roasted, it was very inspiring. I could see opportunities for this to work in Indonesia as the coffee tasted delicious, the roaster’s and baristas were very friendly, sharing all their knowledge yet Indonesia as one of the worlds largest coffee exporters was serving a lot of commodity level, bitter coffee that had the consumer adding spoons of sugar! ”

In late 2013, they opened a very small Tanamera Coffee Indonesia in Thamrin City Office Park, with a coffee roaster inside the café and started producing specialty grade Arabica coffee that is sourced solely from

Indonesia. The baristas and roasters integrated with the customers and explained all the intricacies of every coffee served. Dini notes that initially customers automatically went to add sugar and they explained that it wasn’t necessary as the coffee had a lot of natural sweetness and body. “We now get many thanks for this advice from our clients, especially females who are always weight conscious as they all now have coffee with no sugar added ” Dini notes.

Director John Lee sources specialty grade Arabica coffee beans directly from farmers from across Indonesia. He spends around four months per year on the road, tasting and checking the quality control and processing of beans from every coffee region. This is often from small lot farmers in hard to get to locations but has the benefit of providing Tanamera with unique and distinctive flavours that are enhanced through the careful and skillful roasting profiles developed for each bean type. They use Giesen Coffee Roasters in all of the roasting locations and have become Giesen distributors as well. “We see it as essential to have the best equipment and best staff so we can do justice to the best beans from across the whole Indonesian Archipelago,” she notes.

“I think what makes Tanamera unqiue is our passion for perfection using only Indonesian Coffee, our aim is to have Indonesia widely recognised internationally for producing specialty grade coffee. It’s a big task as it is currently such a small percentage of coffee produced in Indonesia, but we will continue to push as it will benefit lots of Indonesians from the farmers and farm workers right up the supply chain to the server in a café,” Dini notes.

The two most popular orders are Espresso and Filter for the V60 pour over that is very popular for the light roasted single origin beans.

Dini is optimistic about the rise of cafe culture here in Jakarta and in Indonesia at large.

“It’s great to see all the new entries to the market and hope that many of these stay progressive and commit to helping push the improvement of Indonesian Coffee from the farmers bean quality and availability through to knowledgeable and skillful baristas serving the every growing and more knowledgeable base of coffee lovers,” she says. ” The good ones will continue to innovate and start roasting (if not already) and this will ensure they have something unique to offer which in turn should help keep the customers happy and returning every day for their coffee fix. We are working with everyone who can help Indonesia become a nation of quality coffee lovers and producers.” she adds.

The Thamrin City location provides a barista training class where staff are trained on the history of coffee, how to make the different drinks on offer and to make latte art. Courses are given to the staff for 7 hour blocks two to three times a week.

Gerry Saputra is the Store manager at the company’s Pacific Place location and notes that customers there opt for a range of options from the flores and toraja beans to the malabar beans with the tropical fruit taste of the roast. “The key ingredients to a great cup of coffee are the barista and the bean” he says.



Coffee is no longer ‘just a beverage,’ and cafes are more than iust locations for a good cup of coffee. In addition to good food and a welcoming atmosphere, spaces such as Tanamera give us the option to ponder life – over a strong, serious brew.

In the Bahasa Indonesian language, tanah merah means “red earth”. To Dini Aryani Criddle, this phrase represents the lava that boils within the thousands of volcanos that dot her country. It also represents the rich soil of the Indonesian mountainsides, one of the most prominent sources of global coffee exports. But while Indonesia has long been known for the quantity of coffee beans it shipped overseas, quality has not always been its trademark. Five years ago, Dini struck out to change that with Tanamera Coffee. “We’re famous for commodity coffee, which is not bad, but I really want to make Indonesia famous for specialty coffee,” she said. “That’s why we want to improve Indonesian coffee to the international standard. Because the potential is there, and the soil and everything is there. People just don’t know.”

In 2013, Indonesia exported 534,000 tones of coffee around the world, making it one of the top ten coffee exporters worldwide. That same year, local consumption had an unexpected uptick. “Consumption is rising. A 15% increase will be the conservative estimate, and we may see a maximum increase of 30%,” one international dealer told Reuters at the time. This was the start of the third wave of coffee in Indonesia, a turning point in the local coffee industry that Tanamera is considered to have played a key role in.

Inspired by the robust gourmet coffee shop scene Dini had enjoyed during holidays in Australia – which sources a lot of its beans from Indonesia – Dini opened a quaint coffee shop in Jakarta’s Thamrin City in early 2013 with the financial backing of her husband. She had a small staff and a big vision of both changing the local perspective on coffee and expanding her brand abroad within five years.

“The aim was to develop a 100% Indonesian business using Indonesian coffee [of] the highest international standard,” she said. The idea was to be a local trendsetter – driving income for local coffee farmers and making gourmet coffee a part of Indonesians’ daily ritual. “The hope is for many other [local shops] to do the same… to bring benefit to the whole Indonesian coffee industry. Because [there are] a lot of farmers here – there are 2 million farmers – but most of them are very poor.

Initially, Tanamera’s sole shop sourced coffee cherries from local farmers through middlemen, and processed and roasted the beans in-house. The beans were sold to local hotels and enjoyed by customers as Americanos, lattes and cappuccinos. But Dini wanted customers and farmers to be linked in some way. So with every order, baristas would share the story of where the beans of the day came from and the flavours that make each single-origin variety – meaning coffee from a specific region – stand out. “We normally have two grinders. One is a blend and one is single origin,” she said. “When we first opened… most of [our customers] didn’t know cappuccinos, lattes or anything. A lot of them would drink their coffee with sugar.”

As customers became accustomed to the daily explanation of their coffee’s source, their palates became attuned and their understanding of coffee stretched beyond the basics of espresso styles to the flavour notes of a bean: was it chocolaty? Earthy? Spicy?

“Now, every time they order, [they ask], ‘What is the coffee today? Is it Solok?’ Solok meaning the area of [West] Sumatra. ‘Or Kerinci, somewhere in Jambi, or Toraja, or Bali?” she said, imitating voices of coffee customers.

One Tanamera customer came in with an extraordinary level of expertise on Indonesian coffee -right down to the hint of spice that the local soil gives the coffee beans. He’d worked as a coffee exporter to Korea for years. His name was John Lee.

One day, Dini asked him to evaluate a bean she was sending to an overseas competition. “He went through everything in detail: the resting, roasting, profile, etc… And I really liked it when he actually explained about the green bean itself. So the next day I hired him.”

With John leading the way, Tanamera started working directly with local farmers rather than sourcing through middlemen, teaching them how to amplify their yield and improve the quality of the beans they produce. Tanamera set out to find each farmer’s flavour profile.

This started with farmers coffee cherries, each of which cradles two “green beans” side by side inside their skin. John taught farmers to pick them from the coffee trees only when the cherry had fully matured to red from its initial green. John examined each batch of cherries bought from farmers, tossing any damaged cherries to purify the flavour of the beans that ended up in the roast. They would then be processed in house – washed, fermented, dried and rested – before being roasted and served as a Tanamera single origin or blend.

In 2015, Dini felt they had made enough progress to test the waters. They sent baristas to the Melbourne International Coffee Expo, where they took the title of Champion International Roaster in a blind taste test against hundreds of roasters from around the globe. In 2016, they stole the title again, and in the years since, they have won over 40 medals at various competitions.

Still in its infancy, Dini’s company had transformed the way its customers thought about coffee, and its beans had achieved international acclaim. Tanamera also had partnered with high-end Seattle coffee gear producer Slayer, becoming the exclusive distributor of its high-end espresso makers in Indonesia.

Tanamera’s brand continued to expand, with shops opening across Jakarta and Bali. By the end of 2018, there will be 15 shops, including its first international store in the centre of Singapore’s financial district, and a staff of some 300 Indonesians. An additional 15 stores are slated to open in 2019. And as Tanamera has expanded, other shops have also popped up across Indonesia, jumping on board the growing interest in coffee. But Dini said this isn’t competition – it’s the movement she hoped to create.

Dini intends to continue moving overseas, but she’s even more keen to hone the craft of local farmers to ensure the quality continues to increase back home. She said one of the biggest hurdles along the way was finding farmers worth investing in and building trust between them.

John has helped the roughly 15 farming communities with which they have built strong relationships and increasingly high-quality yields to continually perfect their practices. He’s now helping some farmers build the infrastructure they need to process their own cherries so they can sell the processed green beans at a higher price. A perfectionist at heart, he’s never quite satisfied with the current quality – but the growing value of the beans and recognition overseas should allay any concerns.

Still, Dini hopes to invest in farmers even more. She has plans to open a coffee school in the hills of Bali near a farming community they work with.

“We would like to build a school for coffee: for roasting, for coffee [growing]. Why? So the next generation does not just go to the city, but actually takes care of their village,” she said. “They’ve already welcomed us, so I would like to do more and more [to give back to the farmers].”

Looking back on her achievements so far, Dini laughs.

“Achieving international recognition with the back-to-back awards… and only using 100% Indonesian coffee – I mean, honestly, I almost can’t believe it. But for me, that’s the best experience.”

Despite her company’s quick rise to fame, there’s a long wav to go until Dini will be satisfied that she has brought home the fame she feels her country’s coffee deserves. Some might say her goals for the coffee brand have already been achieved in five short years, but it’s clear Dini has barely scraped the surface of tanamera.

Tanamera Coffee is Indonesia’s leading specialist coffee producer, looking to expand its array of premium beverages worldwide. Dini Criddle, Founder and CEO, spills the beans on exciting new products and finding the perfect blend

Embodying the diverse flavours of Indonesian culture, Tanamera Coffee (Tanamera) has intricately curated a unique range of premium coffee products that perfectly encapsulate the vibrant personality of the Southeast Asian nation.

Tanamera’s journey began with a singular vision: to make Indonesia famous across the globe for its specialty coffee. From the moment this dream was sparked into life, the Tanamera mission has been to bring coffee consumers the very best that Indonesia has to offer.

Like the red volcanic soil from which Tanamera derives its name, Indonesia’s archipelago has rich, fertile soils, which provide the perfect breeding ground for growing such flavoursome and distinct coffee beans.

Working closely with farmers across the nation, Tanamera’s coffee is sourced with pride from Indonesia itself and nurtured with care all the way from crop to cup, with a focus on continually improving the health, wealth and wellbeing of the farmer community.

“We ensure that we remain present in every step of the process -from planting, maintaining, cherry picking, processing, roasting, and eventually to brewing,” opens Founder and CEO, DIni Criddle. 

Unlike the competition faced from other Indonesian brands, Tanamera rigorously controls every element of the complex production. 

“We believe that high-quaity coffee starts with two substantial factors: the environment it grows in and farmers that grow it,” she states.

Producing an envious variety of rich, long-lasting tastes, Indonesian coffees are renowned for being full-bodies, intense, complex, smooth, sweety, syrupy, and fruity, bursting with every flavours imaginable. With tasting of chocolate, caramel, hazelnut, blackberry jam, tobacco, spice, herbaceous and citrus, Tanamera takes a more radical, exciting and creative approach to more traditional standard coffee produce, in order to spice up the market and forge a unique niche in the crowded landscape.

Currently operational across Indonesia and Singapore, Tanamera has grand ambition to expand, starting in Malaysia later this year. However, Tanamera refuses to entertain the possibility of sacrificing quality over quantity. Building a stable reputation for premium products has been made achievable as a small family-owned business, a private entity which refuses compromise on the manufacturing of elite coffee produce.

“We’re building a brand for the long-term. We want to be known internationally for Indonesian specialty coffee and we are here to stay”

Dini Criddle, Founder and CEO, Tanamera Coffee

BUILDING A BRAND

As well as bringing out eye-catching new products every couple of months, such as liquid coffee sachets and a range of fresh milk, ready to drink cold brew coffees, single origin biodegradable coffee capsules and filter drip bag coffees, part of building an effective and robusts brand is through content production.

“We know now that people are looking for more engagement with their favourite brands, so we’ve created interactive content such as QR codes leading to videos on how to makes the perfect brew,” describes Criddle.

The Tanamera brand has proudly witnessed impressive endorsement from several famous faces and has a strong membership with the MyTanamera app, a loyalty reward programme.

Additionally, Tanamera has developed some strategically masterful partnerships with world-renowned brands such as the South Korean multinational automotive giant Hyundai, and Marriott Bonvoy Hotels. Moving forward, Hyundai will serve Tanamera coffee in their showroom across Indonesia.

Alongside their HoReCa partnerships, the company has also started to offer 15-minute coffee roasting masterclass within some of Indonesia’s busiest hotels.

Moving away from exclusively social media driven branding, Tanamera is offering a memorable experience instead, where visitors can create a personally tailored roast profile and select their choice of beans for roasting from across the Indonesian archipelago, which available to take home.

HOW TO BREW

The grinder you use, coffee you choose and yes, even water from your sink, can alter the taste in the cup. Every machine is different, so you’ll want to think of these parameters to get each coffee to taste just how you like it.

COLD BREW CREW

One of the crowning jewels in the sumptuous array of coffee varieties produced by Tanamera, is the highly popular cold brew coffee. A delicious concentrate of high quality coffee beans extracted into a liquid using the slow drip method, the result is a beverage rich in flavour wiith a mild acidity and pleasant finish. 20 times more concentrated than traditional hot brewed coffee, it must go through a fine tuned filtration process being slowly dripped over 24 hours. Variants within the product range include Espresso Blend, Aceh Gayo, Toraja Sapan and many more single origins.

“With just two tablespoons of our cold brew concentrate, you can easily make any coffee drink you desire, such as Americano, Latte, or a more unconventional route of endless possibilities. Ice cream, soda water or any other favourites can be added according to your choice,” explains Cridlle.

“We’re building a brand and product portfolio for the long term. We want to be known internationally for the Indonesian specialty coffee and we are here to stay.,” she concludes enthusiastically.

The wait is over, one of your favorite single origin beans is back!

Coffee beans in the highlands of North Malabar (West Java) have been growing there since the 17th century. Geographically, the Mount Malabar area in Pangalengan, Bandung has an altitude of 1400 – 1800M above sea level, air temperature 15-21C, rainfall 2000MM / year. The combination of the mountain’s position and the climate makes it the ideal home to high-quality Arabica beans.

The process of our Malabar coffee itself has enhanced Tanamera Coffee’s value ‘From Crop to Cup’. We are concerned with the improvement of life and welfare of coffee farmers through better coffee. We are always seeking new and improved ways to differentiate ourselves, moderate our coffee’s flavor profiles, and offer exciting and interesting flavors to roasters and all coffee enthusiasts. 

A few trials and ingenuity can go a long way without having to reinvent the wheel, which is why we’re interested in the increasing popularity of anaerobic-environment fermentation. We hear your call of this favorite Malabar coffee and we’re committing to broaden some principles related to the natural activity in every existing process—in fact, anaerobic-natural fermentation has been practiced for a long time in some places.

So what is the dissimilarity in this anaerobic-natural fermentation? The stainless steel containers that are tightly closed in which the coffee cherries are fermented are reducing oxygen at zero level from the beginning and during the process, while also releasing the carbon dioxide that has been built during the fermentation process. Strengthened by the water and organic microorganisms activity, this process could help separate the cherries skin from the coffee beans.

This particular variant of Malabar coffee includes flavours of tropical fruits, chocolate and tea that is escalated by our anaerobic natural process into one-of-a-kind goodness that will definitely punctuate your mornings. Now you can taste the new Tanamera Coffee Malabar Beans with notes of Cacao Nibs, Banana Bread, Apple Juice, Honey, Black Tea Finish, and Delicate Mouth Feel.

Enjoy your fresh brewed Malabar coffee at Plaza Indonesia, One Pacific Place, Ahmad Dahlan, SDC Serpong and Foodhall (Grand Indonesia).

And grab your beans now before it’s too late! As we only have limited stock for you.

There’s nothing like a piping hot cup of coffee. It’s one of the world’s most popular drinks, yet Dini Aryani Criddle found a gap in the market. “I could see there was a disconnect between the quality farmers in Indonesia were producing, and where the customer demand was heading,” she recalls.

After living in Australia, a country known for serving some of the best coffee globally, Dini was inspired to transform Indonesia’s coffee industry. “Indonesia had a big coffee industry that mainly focused on commodity coffee,” she says.

“There were minimal premium and specialty grade arabica coffees. I wanted to give coffee lovers a great cup of Indonesian coffee.” It’s safe to say she’s achieved her goal: since starting Tanamera Coffee in 2013, the brand has won 51 international coffee awards, including the Champion International Roaster award at the Melbourne International Coffee Expo in 2015 and 2016.

“I am proud of building a business that only uses 100% Indonesian coffee beans and has won numerous awards,” Dini beams. “This makes all of us at Tanamera Coffee very happy and confident that Indonesian coffee can compete with coffee from other countries. We are looking forward to growing and improving our business locally and internationally.”

Dini envisaged Tanamera Coffee would be international from the get-go since international customers liked higher-quality beans and had more knowledge of where their coffee came from and how it was processed and roasted.

“We are aiming to be in five-plus countries over the next five years,” she says. Ronald Liong, Director of Tanamera Coffee, and the driver behind opening Tanamera Coffee’s first overseas store in Singapore in October 2020, has signed for three more locations that should be open by mid-2021, with plans to expand into two more countries when international borders open.

“One of the three new sites in Singapore will be a roastery,” Ronald explains. “We found that people in Singapore want the freshest beans they can get. We tend to do a lighter roast than other coffee chains, so whenever we open up our outlets, we have to think about how long it will take between roasting and drinking the coffee before it starts to degrade. We want to make sure that we give the best possible experience for people tasting our coffee.”

"We push ourselves quite hard because this market is competitive."

The company also aims to keep growing its base in Indonesia, and continually develops coffee farms with processing dedicated fully to Tanamera Coffee. “We’ve developed a proven model for processing coffee on or close to the farm that significantly improves the coffee quality and works as a solid business case,” Dini says.

“Our goal is to produce 100 of these over the coming years with each providing more than 30 tonnes per year of specialty grade coffee and share our knowledge and expertise in the hope that many others do the same. This would significantly help to increase the wealth and wellbeing of our farmers while providing internationally competitive coffee that’s delicious.”

The farm processing model that Tanamera has implemented costs around US$150,000 over two years, with the farmer earning back their investment from each harvest.

“After two years, they have a sustainable, improved income for their families, workers and suppliers,” Dini says. “From the buyer side, the coffee quality is high, consistent and better matched to international pricing for similar grades of coffee.

“We need to work together with farmers; investing time, capital and sharing our knowledge and expertise to support the farmers with facilities to help make their work more efficient and consistent.”

“Coffee is reviewed by its bean quality, including having no insect bites, no sour beans, no black beans and no fungus damage or debris,” Dini explains. “If it scores above 80 points, it becomes a specialty coffee. My goal was and still is to serve customers specialty grade Indonesian coffee across the globe.”

The result is unique, full-bodied and complex flavours with lingering tastes. “There are tasting notes of chocolate, caramel, hazelnut, blackberry jam, tobacco, spicy and citrus,” Dini describes. “The taste varies so much across the country. Tanamera offers coffees from across the whole archipelago, served as both espresso and filter-based coffees.

“In Indonesia, most crops are harvested once per year, with the quality arabicas at higher altitudes. The higher the coffee tree is, the slower it is for the fruit to mature. What it means is that they’re getting more minerals and elements going into the coffee cherry.” The coffee business is a nonstop operation, which requires communication, perseverance and patience to run successfully.

“We push ourselves quite hard because this market is competitive,” Dini admits. “We’re always stretching ourselves to do better. The key to keeping everyone motivated is regular discussion without being too emotional about the results. Our coffee outlets are open seven days a week because that’s what our customers want. We’ve implemented a 24/7 warehouse and delivery operation, and a night shift for our online operations too.”

Our limited single origin coffee is back!

This harvest originates from Lubuk Gadang, West Solok. The fertile grounds and highlands are the right area to grow high quality coffee beans, at an altitude of 1600 – 1900 MSL. Solok coffee from West Solok is also known as Solok Minang Coffee. Interestingly, it is produced organically by using natural fertilisers without pesticides which results in higher value.

This limited single origin coffee is processed using carbonic maceration natural method. During the Carbonic Maceration process, the cherries are fermented as a whole to break the cell walls of the fruit flesh from the inside and out.

Try the smooth acidity, high sweetness and silky body with tasting notes of apple juice, tamarind and almond choco.
