NKG Berindo Jaya is located in Bandar Lampung, Indonesia, where high-quality Robusta coffee is produced. Famous for its tropical climate, Lampung has geographical conditions that support coffee growth. The core business of NKG Berindo Jaya is green coffee. The company procures green coffee beans directly from the farmers, producers, collectors and suppliers to be then processed and exported to roasters all around the world.

NKG Berindo Jaya is dedicated to achieving all aspects of sustainable agriculture by providing a supportive program for all parties involved in our coffee supply chain. As a result, we are promoting awareness of good agricultural practices (GAP) and good handling practices (GHP) through a program called NKG Verified.

Established in 1997, NKG Berindo Jaya underwent a refurbishment of its building and an upgrade to modern machinery in 2014. Explore our great premises through the video tour featured in the article!

Discover more about what we do at NKG Berindo Jaya!

We at NKG Berindo Jaya always ensure that the coffee we sell has been tested and fulfills our quality standards. With our expertise and dedication, every cup of coffee from us is a mirror of excellence and thoroughness in every step of the process.
Delicious coffee has a story about its journey from the coffee farmer to the processing procedure. The coffee beans we get from farmers are Robusta coffee originating from Sumatra. Every coffee bean we receive will be carefully tested through a quality control process by taking samples and examining them for moisture content, foreign matter, defective beans, mold, cherry, triage, and other factors to ensure its quality before entering the processing stages.

Ahead of delivering the coffee beans to the customer, we ensure consistency through cuppings. By evaluating the sensory characteristics of the coffee, including aroma, flavor, acidity, and body, cupping helps to identify any defects or inconsistencies that may affect the overall quality of the coffee.

Supported by modern machines, the coffee processing procedure begins with pre-cleaning to eliminate dust and light impurities from coffee beans. The washed cherry coffee beans are then passed through the huller to remove the husk layer that covers them. Afterwards, the coffee beans are dried to fulfill the required moisture standards. To ensure that there are no stones, we use a destoning machine that is equipped with magnets. Additionally, the coffee beans are separated according to their weight through a gravity separator. In order to obtain the highest quality coffee beans, we polish them and remove up to 95 % of the thin layer of silver skin, resulting in a milder taste.

We don't just process coffee.

We also work directly with farmers to support sustainability within the coffee supply chain. Our sustainable team provides assistance and training on coffee plant nurseries to help farmers produce high-quality coffee beans. Through NKG Verified, we are committed to support farmer groups. We listen to their challenges and discuss sustainable farming practices to help them obtain top-quality coffee beans.

Women play a vital role in the further development of coffee plantations. Investing in them means making an important investment in the agricultural sector. We offer equal opportunities without discrimination, by inviting women farmers to become a mover in building more innovative and sustainable farms.

Furthermore, we at NKG Berindo Jaya strive for a safe, fair and healthy working environment cultivating a positive synergy internally and externally.
