There is a great spirit in the IKA (Junus Family) grading room of Sumatra — a wonderful juxtaposition of good-hearted chatter and dedicated coffee grading. Eventually, I came to recognize the good-humored banter in their native language (unknown to me!) was at my expense. Hey, if they aren’t teasing you, they aren’t like you, right?! The IKA export business has been in the Junus family for decades, and today is run by a father and daughter team. While Mr Junus speaks not a word of English, his daughter is fluent in country where it is uncommon.
