Umbra began on a rooftop in Makassar's old port district, with a 1-kilogram sample roaster and a disagreement about what Indonesian coffee could be.
The Indonesian archipelago produces some of the world's most distinctive coffees — but they were being sold overseas, processed for other people's blends, roasted to hide complexity rather than reveal it.
We decided to do the opposite. Source high. Roast light. Let the altitude speak.
"We source where altitude writes the flavour. Every metre above sea level is a degree of complexity the roaster must not erase."
We roast on a 12kg Probat drum in a century-old warehouse overlooking the Makassar Strait. The ceiling is 8 metres high. The walls have not been painted. We like it that way.
Every batch is profiled, cupped, and profiled again. We reject lots that pass industry standards. Our standard is the cup.
