Indonesia – Coffee Wristband Product

Shelton’s design draws inspiration from the spirit of Indonesia. The red and white motif is symbolic of the Indonesian flag, reflecting its rich and vibrant culture. Widespread wings capture the essence of homebrewing, allowing coffee enthusiasts to experiment and enjoy their unique blend of technique and skills. They are also reminiscent of the Garuda, the national emblem of Indonesia, which dons 17 feathers on each wing, hailing the country’s independence day, the 17th of August.

The mountains and Garuda feathers together illustrate the philosophy of “Sabang sampai Merauke,” which reminds us that despite our diverse traditions, we are all connected and together as one, and the dripper being the most popular homebrewing tool in Indonesia. “I met many homebrewers from different cities and cultures, but somehow we’ve always hit it off, and now we’re connected by coffee. I hope my designs will connect all coffee lovers worldwide in support of this charity program. You will be surprised how much you can learn about a person over coffee.”

The fresh illustration showcases Shelton’s hand-lettering skills. It embodies the joy of homebrewing by featuring a simple yet powerful slogan, “THIS IS WHY WE BREW,” inspired by his passion for coffee and love for basketball. This wristband captures the spirit of this fundraising program and the connection we all share through coffee. Thank you for your support!

’26 GCAG Cupping Spoon Limited Edition Product

Taste coffee. Give something back.

We originally created these special cupping spoons for the young coffee producers joining our GCAG training in Indonesia this August. We made a few extra, and we’re using them for one last purpose before we leave: raising a little more funding for GCAG 2026.

The graphic on the spoon was created by Hanyue, our volunteer designer, especially for this year’s GCAG project.

MAKE IT YOURS

Choose the Personalized Laser Engraving option and we’ll laser engrave your name onto the spoon. Your name. Your spoon. Make one for yourself, or personalize one for a coffee friend, teammate, mentor, or someone special behind the cup. (Please leave the name you would like engraved in the “Order Notes” section during checkout.)
