About Nusa Coffee Company
Nusa Coffee Company is a Canadian importer of premium coffee beans from their birthplace – Indonesia. Offering up distinct tastes from the Indonesian archipelago's biologically diverse islands, Nusa gives coffee lovers a taste of regional flavour palates.
From Nusantara — Bahasa Indonesia for archipelago or “collection of islands”— Nusa’s philosophy carries the same sentiment: each island carries its own cultural flavour but contributes to a universal palate.
We offer flavours and roasts that originate from each Indonesian island. Currently, we offer Java Peaberry and Sulawesi Toraja blends.
Our Cause
Nusa's partnership with family-owned farms in Indonesia helps keep small, local growers alive. In an economic crunch, many coffee plantation owners have sold their land to the environmentally-harmful palm oil industry. By supporting family growers, we enable them to keep afloat economically while preserving their historic land.
Nusa will donate five per cent of its earnings back to the farmers we source our coffee from. We have been collaborating with an NGO dedicated to better agricultural practices for quality coffee production and improving coffee farm infrastructure. The partnership has helped to improve quality, increase earnings from coffee sales, and is strengthening farmers’ livelihoods.
