Malaysia

A Southeast Asian producer known for liberica and robusta coffees.

Malaysia grows coffee primarily in Sabah, Sarawak, and Johor, with liberica being the dominant species -- unusual globally. Malaysian liberica offers a distinctive jackfruit, floral, and woody profile unlike arabica or robusta. The country also has a strong kopitiam (coffee shop) culture where dark-roasted beans brewed with butter or margarine produce a uniquely rich, caramelized local style.
