| | | TENOM COFFEE SDN BHD started as a small business in Kuala Tomani village. During the previous years, where coffee beans were not sold due to their low prices, coffee beans were processed and fried only for family members. Due to small and limited market for coffee in Tenom, demand for coffee was also low. However, coffee beans that are grinded into fine powder are able to seek higher prices compared to non-grinded beans. Beginning in December 2009, the coffee that is processed in Kuala Tomani will be sent to Petagas for packaging and marketing.
Products from Tenom Coffee Sdn Bhd are not only marketed locally but also to other countries such as Brunei, Indonesia, Korea, Japan and Arab countries. In Kota Kinabalu, most Malay and Muslim Indian restaurant sell Tenom coffee. A well known restaurant in Kota Kinabalu known as Sri Rahmat Restaurant located in Segama sells around 200 cups of Tenom coffee every day. The business has another sales branch located in Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman, which was previously located in PWTC, Kuala Lumpur.
Using our own homemade formula, Tenom Coffee Sdn Bhd blends its coffee powder in order to get the best coffee flavour. Other than using coffee beans and selected herbs, Tenom coffee does not mix the coffee with ingredients such as ground rice, corn or wheat which is the practice of many coffee producers. It’s the company’s policy that coffee should be grown naturally without the use of fertilizers and pesticides. The coffee beans are also fried using firewood instead of cooking gas to prevent damaging the coffee’s scent.
Tenom coffee can be enjoyed especially during the rainy season together with fried banana fritters, boiled sweet potato, sago pancakes, roasted corn and even with biscuits. Unlike coffee served in posh hotels and big coffee companies, Tenom coffee are made by ordinary people, for the people. Affordable and high quality, Tenom coffee is simply the better choice.
Our coffee is a proud product of the Sabah people and it will continue to expand its business internationally to be able to compete with other well-known international brands. Tenom coffee is a suitable and enjoyable drink for all coffee enthusiasts especially Sabah people who love and enjoy having our coffee. | |
KOPI TENOM SDN BHD dimulakan secara kecil kecilan di kampung Kuala Tomani. Pada peringkat awal biji kopi digoreng untuk kegunaan keluarga. Oleh kerana harga yang rendah, biji kopi yang ditanam disimpan bertahun-tahun kerana tidak dapat dijual. Seterusnya, biji kopi dijadikan serbuk untuk mendapatkan harga yang terbaik. |
