Throwback to our Coffee Harvesting Ceremony at Tugu Kawisari Plantation on June 29, 2024.
An unforgettable journey into the heart of Tugu Kawisari Plantation’s harvesting season with the Mantenan Kopi of Joko Gondel and Nyai Sri Gondel is a cherished tradition passed down through generations to ensure the selection of the finest coffee beans.
Manten kopi is a tradition at Kawisari plantation in Wlingi District, Blitar Regency, marking the start of the coffee harvest season. It expresses gratitude for abundant crops. The ritual begins with preparing offerings and lit incense, placed among the densest coffee trees. The harvested coffee is then carried in a procession with Kembar Mayang, symbolizing the manten tradition. The Kembar Mayang is brought to the entrance gate of the Kawisari plantation, where it is exchanged.
