At DUA DC, we chose to focus on Indonesian specialty coffee since 2019.
By working directly with producers and roasting our beans in-house, we’re able to bring out flavors that reflect where the coffee truly comes from.
Every cup you drink here represents the work of farmers, the character of the land, and a coffee culture that has been thriving for generations.
Thank you for being curious enough to explore it with us.
☕ See you at DUA DC Coffee

Excelsa is a rare coffee. It only thrives in places with just the right mix of warmth, humidity, and well-drained soil. That’s why you’ll find it growing in only a few pockets of the world; like the quiet, misty hills of Cukil village in Semarang.
Its cherries ripen slowly and unevenly, so farmers return to the trees again and again, picking only what’s ready. It takes patience, care, and a lot more work than Arabica or Robusta, which is why the harvest is always small.
We’re proud to share the result of all that dedication : A truly rare cup.
Available in our shop and in limited quantities on our website.

The layered flavors of an Aren Latte are exactly why this drink has been loved across Indonesia for generations. Aren syrup brings a depth of sweetness that is beautifully balanced with coffee.
As recently highlighted by @baristamagazine :
“The syrup’s low glycemic index is a bonus, but its real gift is flavor. Depending on the region and processing, gula aren can taste of dark caramel, toasted coconut, brown butter, or even a faint whisper of smoke. Paired with a bold Sumatran or Sulawesi coffee—itself earthy, full-bodied, and low in acidity—the resulting combination is marked more by harmony than contrast.”
This is the beauty of Indonesian coffee culture in a cup: rich flavors, layered sweetness, and comfort that lingers long after the last sip.
If you’ve never tried an Indonesian Aren Latte before, this is your sign. ☕️🇮🇩

Our after-hours at the shop looked a little different today, we taped a new episode of @asiaforward (!!) ☕🎙️
We talked all about specialty coffee, the culture, the coffee industry, Indonesian coffee, and what it means to build bridges in the chains that connect people through coffee.
Stay tuned for the episode release!

In a recent article, @baristamagazine wrote about how Aren Latte, an Indonesian recipe, is taking the world by storm.
And honestly? It fills our hearts to have been part of that storm since 2020 by staying true to our Indonesian roots in the US specialty coffee scene. Our aren sugar comes straight from the hands of farmers in West Java, Indonesia, who climb these towering trees to harvest the sap that makes every cup so extraordinary.
As @baristamagazine beautifully put it: “Aren sugar carries a deep, almost smoky sweetness with caramel undertones and a whisper of molasses. It does not simply sweeten; it transforms the beverage.” #arenlatte #DUADC #specialtycoffee #Indonesiancoffee #DMVcoffee
