BORNEOTRAVEL -MALINAU: If you ever find yourself in North Kalimantan or on a work trip, don’t miss the chance to visit Malinau.
From the water transport routes, it takes about 3.5 hours to reach Malinau. If you fly, the journey is even quicker—only around 30 minutes.
In this city steeped in Dayak culture and surrounded by lush greenery, you’ll discover a variety of cafes. Whether you’re looking to relax, hold a meeting, or just hang out with friends, there’s something for everyone.
One of the best coffees to try is "Kopi Malinau," which showcases the local plants and production.
Malinau: Creative, thriving district with outstanding products
Malinau, once part of East Kalimantan before becoming its own district, is a product of the regional expansion defined by Law No. 47 of 1999. But who would have thought? Many innovative and wonderful things are coming from this land known as Intimung (Indah, Tertib, Makmur dan Unggul - Beautiful, Orderly, Prosperous, and Outstanding.)
The Human Development Index (HDI), poverty levels, and various indicators show that Malinau surpasses the national average in many respects. Today, several outstanding local products are making waves, reflecting the creativity and effort of the people behind them. This embodies the idea of thinking globally while acting locally.
The coffee here is 100% robusta, adorned with an illustration of a dancing Dayak girl. When you take a sip, be prepared—your imagination and thoughts will dance along, lifted to the blue skies by its enticing taste and aroma.
From Malinau, a range of products emerges, including various handmade crafts. One notable item is a handbag that the local community proudly gifted to President Jokowi during his visit to Malinau.
The spirit of creativity fostered by Dr. Yansen TP, who served as the regent for two terms (2011–2016 and 2016–2021), continues to thrive. Even now, as he transitions to serve as the Deputy Governor of North Kalimantan, his impact remains strong.
Kopi Malinau - Malinau Coffee
With its eye-catching packaging featuring a beautiful Dayak girl in a graceful dance, Malinau coffee isn’t just something to be enjoyed on-site; it can also be purchased to savor at home or wherever you please.
This coffee truly reflects the creativity and craftsmanship of the region, being produced, packaged, and distributed with great care and attention to detail. Personally, I appreciate every facet of it: the thoughtful concept, the vibrant packaging, and most importantly, the exquisite flavor.
Allow me to introduce "Sapuk Kupi," a delightful blend that boasts notes of chocolate, caramel, and a subtle hint of bitterness—100% robusta coffee at its finest.
As you take a sip of this aromatic brew, be prepared for a journey. The lovely illustration of the dancing Dayak girl captures the essence of the culture, inviting you to embrace the experience. Your thoughts will soar, carried away by the rich taste and enticing aroma, making each cup not just a drink but a celebration of Borneo’s natural beauty and heritage.
Whether you’re unwinding after a long day or sharing moments with friends, Malinau coffee adds a touch of magic to any occasion.
Even if you’re deep in sleep, the aroma of Malinau coffee will wake you instantly, making you rush to find its source.
Kopi Malinau is truly special. Everything about it exudes quality. From Malinau, for the nation.
