Since founding in 2013, we've maintained a zero-deforestation policy. Our coffee farms operate outside government-protected conservation zones and High Conservation Value (HCV) areas. We grow our coffee on already established agricultural land and we're committed to increasing biodiversity, working with farmers to plant diverse tree and plant species while protecting wildlife.

Quality coffee requires healthy land. That means building up and protecting the ecosystems that support it – the soil, water, plants, and animals that work together as one system. That's why we reject practices like forest clearing, which goes against our core beliefs and leads to biodiversity loss, soil degradation, and carbon emissions. 

Chemical-Free Farming

Protecting biodiversity starts with how we farm. No synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers are used in the production of our coffee. Instead, we mimic nature, generating minimal waste by returning organic matter back into the soil. This protects the ecosystems found within the farms and the farmers who work the land. 

Wildlife Protection

Our farms enforce a strict no-hunting policy, creating a safe space for wildlife. This results in diverse bird populations, healthy insect activity, and mammals moving freely through the landscape. We've documented 30 different wildlife species across our farms, including the critically endangered Sunda Pangolin (Manis javanica). Wild native honey bees are found across our farms, serving as essential pollinators for our agroforestry system and supporting the broader ecosystem. They help improve the quality and quantity of harvests across our coffee and other flowering crops.

Monitoring and Restoration

We partner with Bumiterra, an environmental organization, to monitor ecosystem health and implement restoration programs where needed. Through this partnership we’ve achieved:

1. 921 trees planted across 30 native species
2. 2 hectares of degraded land restored
3. 16.15 tons of carbon offset
4. 30 wildlife species documented

Why This Matters

Biodiversity isn't separate from coffee quality; it's fundamental to it. Healthy ecosystems provide natural pest control, improve soil fertility, and create resilience against climate stress. The same volcanic soils that give Balinese coffee its distinctive flavor profile rely on healthy ecosystems to maintain their richness.

We work with approximately 100 smallholder farms in Manikliyu Village, Kintamani. Farmers like Wayan Nengah, who’s worked with us since the beginning, show what's possible when quality and environmental practices work together. Through hands-on training, selective harvesting, processing techniques, and understanding the land, we help farmers see that protecting biodiversity isn't just good for the environment. It improves yields, quality, and long-term farm resilience.

Our Kintamani coffee consistently scores 83-84 points, meeting international specialty coffee standards. This proves what we've known all along: you can't separate environmental practices from coffee quality. The farmers we work with know that cutting corners on biodiversity means cutting corners on coffee quality.

Our goal isn't just to avoid harm. It's to actively improve the land we farm. Every hectare we restore, every tree we plant, every animal species we document—these aren't just sustainability metrics. They're investments in the future of Indonesian specialty coffee.
