In our own words
We're curious. Young people from all over Indonesia are participat-
ing in barista training, specialty coffee classes, and SCA certification
programs to demystify and understand this new language But we

Creating your own flavor wheel means building a linguistic and
cultural bridge that will help local coffee professionals understand
the SCA wheel's references, attributes, and language. With its vari-

dard. Our role in coffee producing countries is to break this down into
a regionally focused perspective, which begins with understanding
and celebrating one's own culture and agriculture.
The Roda Rasa Kopi Indonesia App is available at Google Play
