Farming,  blacksmithing, leathercrafting, outdoor activities are my passion
I grew up in a farmer family.
My parents taught me to farm, grow crops with all the fatigue.
The learning process that makes me able to do it as it is today.
I can grow crops,
take care my coffee,
build a cabin,
can live in a nature, just like...
yeah... as an ordinary farmer.
We agreed to build a brand called ‘SAUX’
where we can express
bring out our idealism,
took out our passions and thats not bound by anything.
In SAUX, I like getting a house where I can do everything.
I can do things with metal,
leather,
I can express,
share,
learn,
all in one place.
Talk about coffee
the coffee at this place
is an average of 4 to 5 years old.
Some of the coffee over there
is on average 10 years old.
From the early generation who made coffee here,
it has been so long time
and maybe I belong to the second generation here.
The varieties here are Arabica.
What?
Oh..yes..
the process of harvesting
It turns like this..
the coffee was initially picked.
Red coffee is picked, the name is cherry
and then it cleaned,
after that it sorted and the sorting method is easy.
Put into the water,
the floating one in the water was thrown away.
The sinking one was separated.
Later on, we take it to the next process.
Since sorting,
cleansing,
we progress to the next process called pulping
or exfoliation.
I'm using my homemade pulping tools.
After pulping, we put it in a container
then it kept pressed for
24 hours to 36 hours.
I usually use 24 hours.
Then we clean it until all the slime is gone.
After that,
the coffee is dried in the open air under direct sunlight
for 3 days if the weather is good,
but in general, it takes for 7 days.
After the drying process,
we will check the water content.
When the water content reaches 11 percent
and the coffee skin is easily destroyed,
we do the peeling process.
Some use huller
and for myself using a cloth
rubbed until the skin is gone.
The result of this peeling skin we call ‘Green Bean’.
and then
goes to roasting process.
During this roasting process,
the taste is determined.
It will be bitter coffee
or flavored coffee.
It is determined during the roasting process.
For me, I often only 2 profiles.
The one is light roast profile
for those who like the manual brew
and the other is espresso profile
During the break of this long process of farming,
I often have fun.
Make a knife, leather crafting or sometimes
lie down while waiting for Hedi finished
with his smoke beef.
From this fun process,
Hedi and I agreed
to make a, let's say a movement
about
outdoor cooking and having fun in the nature,
that we called “BBQ MOUNTAIN BOYS”.
Instant coffee or ground coffee?
I think that its tastes universal.
anyway, the coffee stays the same,
So, whether it's instant or ground coffee,
using milk or do not use anything,
wants a manual brew coffee or use super expensive machine
even if you need to pay with high price or free
the coffee is still delicious.
Well.. like this..
in many ways,
it will always be delicious.
