Tasting Notes
One of the most intense and unique coffees we have ever come across. Aromas of Lychee, strawberry and mint. In the cup it is very sweet, with a taste like stevia, and also bright citrusy acidity and coating mouthfeel. Tropical fruit flavors like Cherimoya and Jackfruit mix with notes of red dates and amaretto and finish with hints of mint.
Background
Established in 2011, MY LIBERICA is the first coffee producer in Malaysia to specialize local coffee – Liberica.
The World Production of Coffea Liberica coffee is only 1-2%. It was first introduced to Malaysia to solve the problem of reduced coffee production from Coffee Leaf rust. It later became the main coffee bean used for traditional coffee. Today this species is mostly commercially cultivated in Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
MY LIBERICA has 50 acres (20 hectares) of carefully cultivated coffee in Kulai, Johor.
Most of the coffee trees are from the Liberica variety due to unique soil nutrients and condition.
To improve the coffee quality and be environmentally responsible, we are using coffee waste to produce organic fertiliser at our farm.
MY LIBERICA began investing in the new processing plant in 2014, which became the first speciality coffee processing facility dedicated to Liberica species in Malaysia. The facility objectives include improving coffee flavours and safe consumption through meticulous and different processing methodologies.
In 2020, they began trying the Anaerobic natural Process on their coffees. and have continued to refine this method since. They now produce coffees that undergo between 15 -30 days of anaerobic fermentation. Far longer times than are common with arabica. Their N26 lot is fermented for 26 days before drying on raised screens.

Our commitment to you is to serve exceptional, fresh-roasted coffees. And part of being exceptional means roasting before the flavors inherent in the green bean begin to fade, which happens over time.
Like apples and pumpkins, coffee is a seasonal agricultural product and each country has a different harvesting cycle in which coffees are at their peak. If we were to insist on serving a single origin all year long, the flavors in that coffee would be noticeably better one half of the year over the other. So the reason you no longer see that coffee you loved is because the optimal season has passed. For more on seasonality in coffees, see this blog post here.
Hopefully so. If it was a popular product or we receive customer requests, we will make every attempt to bring it back. However, please note that coffees from a certain producer may not taste the same year after year.
If you loved a coffee and no longer see it listed, shoot us an email and ask us what is similar. We’d be happy to provide a personal recommendation.
We aim for balance and completeness along with differentiation and distinction. You shouldn't need to be a professional coffee taster to tell the coffees a part, so, when we’re selecting coffees, we want them to be distinct from each other.
We avoid ”one-trick pony” type coffees, such as Ethiopians with great aroma but no body or acidity, or coffees with good aroma and acidity but lacking sweetness. These elements, which are often reflections of the growing conditions, are harmonized through good roasting.
And, obviously, defects — even subtle defects — influence our selection. Since we live and work at origin, we’re sensitive to coffee defects like “past crop”, pulpy, and naturals that border on over-ferment. With naturals, we’ll only carry these when great examples are available.
Our perspective on roasting is similar: we seek balance and distinction. To expect that a coffee is “best” when roasted to some pre-determined degree (i.e. only light roasting or only dark roasting) is analogous to thinking that each person would look best in the same outfit, or each coffee should be grown in the same way. We believe it’s our job to discover the roast degree which best highlights outstanding qualities in each coffee.
