Natural Cipaganti West Java

Blessing and Waluya, in partnership with the Little Fireface Project (LFP) and led by Professor Anna Nekaris OBE, is a unique initiative that combines wildlife conservation with sustainable coffee farming. Focused on protecting the endangered Javan slow loris, the project works with local farmers to promote wildlife-friendly practices. The coffee is grown in home gardens across 60 hectares, near the Gunung Papandayan Protected Forest, providing a natural habitat for both wildlife and the community.

The hand-picked Arabica coffee is cultivated alongside crops like tea, chayote, and cassava, all under the shade of trees. This sustainable farming approach supports biodiversity while offering farmers multiple income streams. Since 2016, farmers have received training in organic practices and coffee processing, and in 2019, they achieved organic certification. The result is a high-quality coffee that not only benefits local livelihoods but also helps preserve the habitat of the Javan slow loris and other wildlife.
