Fresh Harvest

There is nothing much better than buying directly from a farm and having access to converse directly with the producer. Working with Empus Said let us live a life of being a micro coffee roaster. Rather than go for traditional wet-hulled process coffee, Empus said he was exploring the potential of the honey process for his coffee.

Processing coffee at its origin is not as simple as written in a text book. The challenges of climate, location, facility, and harvest quality have been constant, especially for a small producer like Empus Said. With his latest drying facilities, Empus Said is looking forward to mass producing natural-process specialty coffee for the local and international markets.

Empus Said’s new harvest reveals astonishing clarity through our signature double anaerobic fermentation 72 hours of natural anaerobic followed by 72 hours of honey anaerobic which layers structural depth while curating a vibrant, refreshing profile.

In a filter, it greets you with rounded Solero‑style citrus, cooling pudina, juicy guava, and crisp red apple, finishing on a silky caramel note. Pulled as espresso, it bursts with red jam fruits, lively raspberry, red wine richness, and tart cranberry. With milk, it evolves into red raisin sweetness, mixed‑berry chocolate, delicate violet, creamy milk chocolate, and a decadent raspberry cheesecake. Empus Said once again transforms each cup into an exceptional specialty coffee experience.

The Producer

When talked about Indonesia coffee, Sumatra has always become main conversation of origin that producing one of the unique taste profile. Heavy body, earthy flavour and herbal aftertaste has been main character why it loved so much by many coffee lover. When sourcing coffee form this origin, we have particularly searching small producer that we going to work together for a long time.

What sets a coffee producer like Empus Said Estate apart is a huge coffee farm and a private processing wet mill. It allows them to have more control over farming practices and a better coffee processing facility. The wet mill is equipped with a ceramic tile fermentation tank and washing channel. This significantly contributes to more hygienic coffee processing and a cleaner coffee flavour.

The new generation spearheaded by Said Izeni has pave a new direction for Empus Said. While maintaining mainly production for traditional processes like wet-hulled, he is always eager to look for opportunities to carry out experimental coffee. His latest honey aerobic and natural anaerobic process expands the taste spectrum of Empus Said coffee. Moving forward, we are looking forward to working together with Empus Said to create more exciting coffee for coffee lovers.
