They initially started in coffee by opening a cafe in Surubaya and then realised they could roast themselves they opened a roastery. This soon led to them being inquisitive about the supply of green coffee they received and led them to start processing green coffee themselves from the highlands in and around Mt Ijen to supply their roastery. The next natural step was to start selling green coffee in the expanding internal specialty market as well as exporting coffee. In recent years they have been renting old processing facilities that were previously used for rice processing and drying and turned this into their processing centres at the bottom of Mt Ijen.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tabs__paragraph\"\u003eKevin Soewondo has travelled to Colombia to undertake the Q processing level 3 qualification to enhance their knowledge and improve their processing. They are embracing technology as well by investing in a small cherry colour sorter that helps them to be precise with the cherry and consistency. Historically with the wet hulled process in Indonesia there has never been the incentive to deliver uniform ripe cherry due to the high demand and prices often seen in the local market. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"tabs__paragraph\"\u003eThe colour sorter has also opened more opportunities for them and also increased their efficiency of not needing to handsort all the coffee before processing. For the 2025 season they have also invested in a Pinhalese mechanical drier due to the often wet environment they have to dry their coffee in. Mt. Ijen, Indonesia is a mountain located in East Java, around 3,5 hours’ drive from Bali. It is a somewhat active volcano in East Java province, Indonesia. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Divine Coffee","offers":[{"title":"Ground \/ 227g","offer_id":55607868162424,"sku":null,"price":11.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wholebean \/ 227g","offer_id":55607868195192,"sku":null,"price":11.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Espresso Grind \/ 227g","offer_id":55607868227960,"sku":null,"price":11.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Wholebean \/ 1kg","offer_id":55607868260728,"sku":null,"price":43.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0034\/4037\/7971\/files\/INDO2026.png?v=1785492368","url":"https:\/\/divinecoffee.co.uk\/products\/indonesia-ijen-highlands-natural","provider":"Divine Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
