Rahmah, Chairwoman of KOPEPI talked to this nature of maintaining flavour profile “As you may aware, coffee from our region is never consistent due to many factors such as altitude, variety, microclimate, harvest time, etc. So we need to have many farms to make it consistent. Our production team already kept Hutan coffee profile based on the approved sample [..], so we can maintain consistency.â€
