Synopsis

This documentary brings audiences to places never been exposed before while trying to show a familiar phenomenon through unfamiliar way: that tradition, culture, art, and believes all contribute to the history of Indonesian coffee. More than trying to explore the origin of coffee’s taste complexity, more than just talking about the trend and lifestyle of drinking coffee, ‘Biji Kopi Indonesia’ (‘Indonesian Coffee’) is trying to address a provocative question: how far is our knowledge on coffee that we consume almost everyday? The answer might not be what you’ve expected.
