Masama is a young company, aiming for the implementation of sustainable solutions when it is possible!
From the production of the coffee, its transformation, the choice of the packaging and the transportation, we want to commit to select the best options, in line with our values.
Unfortunately, a 100% environmental friendly business is still not easy to achieve!
Empowerment is a big word. It mostly means to enable our partners to get more confidence in the quality of their products and their right to request a fair price. The economical aspect is indeed very important!
All the coffee farms selected are part of an agroforestry system. Meaning that the coffee is cultivated together with other trees that provide shade for a better quality of the coffee beans and protection of the environment
Most of our partners also grow fruit trees, keep honey bees or even produce brown sugars in the same land they grow coffee. Masama sees here an opportunity to diversify, and thus secure, the income of its partners.
That is a hard one! Today most coffee farmers are using synthetic inputs in their land...We bring back traditional knowledge and methods to ensure Nature is the center of our care.
This is a dear one to us! After years of working with farmers, we realized that they don’t know why or where their crop is going most of the time! It is our responsibility at Masama to be this platform of encounter and social discovery. We want to help to create a strong relational fabric where all parties are free to share and connect!
We are not ready for a third-party certification yet, but we are concerned about quality! Our years of experience have enabled us to create our own standards that incorporate sound environmental and socio-economic requirements.
We ensure all of our Indonesian partners receive a decent price for their coffee. We also support them in getting appropriate materials and funds for their coffee harvest and processing.
We closely monitor the humidity content of the beans we purchase from our partners, and carefully store them in our roasting facility. We roast maximum 7 days before the shipment, ensuring your beans to be as fresh as possible once they arrive home!
Masama is working exclusively with Indonesian producers, artisans, manufacturers...We believe it is our duty to focus on the brand anchoring in the territory.
