January 3rd 2012 was my third visit to this Place. The place with thousand potential that event you asking to Torajan People (one of big tribe in South Sulawesi), they didn't know for sure this place.
I will describe it for briefly where it is.
Saddo'ko' is a village in Rembon about 18 Km from Makale (The capital city of Tana Toraja). -if you do not know Tana Toraja , so please google it first..:D). I'm pretty sure that few people know this place.
Everybody know Torajan Arabica Coffee, It is easy to get it, right? just go to Starbucks, Coffee Bean, or any others Cafe and you will find it. But few people know where is it come from,didn't you?
Fortunately in 2003 in my first years of study at ITB Bandung, I went back to Toraja for my holiday -December 2003-. Suddenly my father told me that "Yudy, You want to go to take a look for our Coffee Garden?" at the time I didn't think anything I just say " Okay let's go for it".
I went there with my brother Beny, sister Ratu, my father Benyamin Tondok, and one of the farmer who took care of this Coffee. On that time I just saw the little tiny Coffee Tree. *unfortunately I lost the picture *
But I will show you how they are now. So the Coffee Tree on their 8 years old now.
I have a plan to promote my coffee with making a Coffee brand of course with putting where they come from. is it sound weird if I call it
" Sado'ko' Organic Arabican Coffee"
this is potential commodity. Have a Rank 2 after Oil.
Anybody please help me to introduce it to the world.
