Quest for a handmade gift box...

As you may have seen in the K2 newsletter or on the K2 website, we have been hard at work at sourcing a local hand made gift box for coffee luwak. The idea behind the gift box is to provide a unique and authentic gift option for you in a way that provides a livable wage for a local craftsman.

After asking several Acehnese people for a sample handmade box, we finally found our craftsman - Azhari.  Azhari went to school for mechanics and machinery, but is talented in wood and other types of crafting. Here was the very first box he every made ....

And the second .....

And the third .....

Azhari is a fast learner. Graeme, an Australian friend with many years of experience in the wood industry, came and visited Azhari's makeshift workshop where he taught him a few tricks, including the importance of making sure the wood is as dry as possible before using it.

To make sure that Azhari was making enough money per box to make it worth his time, we sat down and wrote out the amount of money it takes for him to make 1 box. He can only complete 1 box in a day, so K2 wanted to ensure that the purchase price was fair. Here is our accounting work.

Now that you know the story, we hope you will consider ordering a gift box! Not only will you get some of the best Peaberry Luwak coffee, but will be supporting a local craftsman to develop his skill. Each box will contain a card of authenticity like below:

Pricing includes international shipping costs, and varies depending on the amount of coffee you would like to order. If you are interested in buying several gift boxes, let us know and we can see what kind of discount we can work up.

• 200g of Peaberry Luwak with the gift box is $75 including shipping.
