At the forefront of the production is Yolan Tirta of Toduri Coffee, whose family has been involved in the region’s coffee trade for generations.

Arabica has been cultivated in Enrekang since the 1800s, when local traders established Kalosi as a key hub. Over time, the name Kalosi became synonymous with all Arabica from Sulawesi, including those from the northern Toraja region.

Specialty coffee production in this area presents significant challenges due to a market focused on wet parchment and complex, lengthy supply chains. Despite these obstacles, Yolan has achieved remarkable success by establishing washing stations and sourcing high- altitude cherry. His use of cutting-edge processing techniques—guided by his own cupping and quality analysis—has resulted in outstanding coffee. His dedication was recently recognised with a 3rd-place finish in the Indonesia Cup of Excellence.
