Indonesian Coffee, From Local Heritage to Global Market
Tradition in every sip, quality in every bean
Indonesia is a land of rich coffee heritage. From the highlands of Sumatra to the volcanic slopes of Java and Sulawesi, every region produces coffee beans with distinct flavors shaped by its unique soil, climate, and culture. For generations, coffee has been more than just a beverage, it is a symbol of tradition, craftsmanship, and pride. Today, Indonesian coffee is gaining recognition not only at home but also on the global stage, proving that local quality can compete internationally.
Taking Indonesian Coffee to the World
One striking example of Indonesia’s coffee gaining global attention is Tuku Coffee’s pop-up store in Seoul, South Korea. The store quickly attracted coffee lovers eager to experience the unique taste of Indonesian beans. Initiatives like this demonstrate the export potential of Indonesian coffee and show how local brands can capture international audiences.
The success of such ventures is not only a marketing win it opens doors for Indonesian coffee exports and strengthens the country’s presence in global markets. For coffee enthusiasts and entrepreneurs alike, the message is clear: Indonesia’s coffee is ready to be discovered by the world.
Robusta and Arabica: Indonesia’s Export Powerhouses
Indonesia primarily exports Robusta and Arabica coffee beans in their raw, unprocessed form. Robusta coffee dominates export volumes and is widely produced in Lampung, Bengkulu, and East Java. According to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), raw Robusta exports can reach up to eight times the volume of Arabica. By 2023, Indonesia’s Robusta coffee production is projected to rank 3rd in the world, confirming its status as a global leader.
Arabica coffee, while exported in smaller volumes, is no less important. Specialty beans from regions such as Gayo, Toraja, Kintamani, and Flores Bajawa are in high demand internationally. Indonesia’s Arabica production is expected to rank 11th in the world by 2023, showing that Indonesian coffee is competitive across both quality and scale.
Why Indonesian Coffee Matters

By supporting local brands, consumers contribute to a sustainable future for Indonesia’s coffee industry while enjoying world-class flavors.
