BUMI

Speciality Coffee from Indonesian soil to your Canadian cup

Three Indonesian friends set out to bridge the gap between Java’s coffee farms and cups in British Columbia. The result is BUMI.

In Indonesian, bumi means “earth”, from the Sanskrit bhūmi. For the team behind BUMI Coffee, the name honours two landscapes: Indonesia’s volcanic highlands and the forests and coastline of British Columbia, where they now call home.

The story begins in 2009, when three Indonesian students arrived in Canada. Juggling full course loads and part-time jobs, some as baristas, they ran on cheap coffee. Years later, settled into careers, they wanted to share the real thing, but almost no one in BC was importing Indonesian green beans. So they decided to become the bridge themselves.

Today BUMI buys directly and fairly from smallholder farmers, who grow more than 90% of Indonesia’s coffee. Beans are handpicked, processed and sorted using generations-old traditions, then roasted in small batches in Vancouver for freshness and full control over flavour.

The range focuses on Indonesia’s finest Arabicas. IJEN, named for East Java’s Ijen volcano, comes as a Washed light roast and a Natural medium-dark. ARTAPELA Lactic is a bright medium-light roast, while the BANDUNG Blend is a rich medium-dark all-rounder. The newest arrival, the ARTAPELA Pocket Pourover, packs six nitrogen-flushed single-serve pouches into a box. No grinder, no scale, just a kettle.

What sets BUMI apart is purpose. Its mission is to promote Indonesia’s coffee heritage, reclaim a crop first imposed under Dutch colonial rule, and celebrate the farmers who made it their own. Ngopi, the ritual of drinking coffee together, runs through everything they do, from market pop-ups to café collaborations.

As BUMI grows from online orders to café counters and retail shelves, bags are now carrying barcodes from Canada Barcodes. This small detail keeps stock moving smoothly from the Vancouver roastery to the checkout, so more Canadians can find a taste of Indonesia close to home.
