Being one of Talasi’s Origins, Desa Gadungan is a traditional village located in the southeastern part of the island of Bali. It’s a beautiful and tranquil agricultural village, surrounded by terraced fields and green hills, and is known for its Balinese cultural heritage, of which the locals are very proud.

Local Commodities to Try

Aside from its rich cultural heritage and natural beauty, Desa Gadungan is known for its finest commodities: coffee, cocoa, snake fruits, and arenga. These commodities are not only delicious, but they also play an essential role in the local economy.

Talasi takes these commodities to the next level by further processing them into high-quality coffee beans, cocoa, snake fruit vinegar, and arenga nectar syrup.

 

 

The coffee beans, which include Arabica and Robusta varieties, are roasted to perfection, resulting in a rich and flavorful cup of coffee. These beans are processed to unleash their potential flavors, with the efforts of everyone involved, from the farmers to Talasi’s team, at the heart of our Origin at Desa Gadungan, Bali.

We work closely with local farmers and carefully select the highest quality cocoa to ensure that we provide you with the freshest and most premium cocoa directly from its origin.

The snake fruit vinegar, made from the juicy flesh of the snake fruits, is a unique and tangy addition to any dish. These fruits are abundant in Desa Wanagiri, not that far from our Estate in Desa Gadungan, Bali. With our innovation, we help the local farmers by absorbing the commodity and adding value to it.

Our arenga nectar syrup is crafted using unadulterated arenga sap sourced from Tabanan, Bali. Through our process, it has a reduced glycemic index, rendering it a more wholesome, flavorful, and eco-friendly alternative to refined sugar.

By purchasing Desa Gadungan’s coffee, snake fruit, and arenga products, not only do you enjoy the finest products this village has to offer, but you also support the local economy and community. So why not give them a try?

How can I contribute? How do we create a better livelihood? How can we use the abundant natural resources and add more value to their lives. This was my purpose calling and I have spent my adult life in the business of adding value to Indonesian natural resources. 

After a few days in Sumba, I was reenergized and felt the urge to start a new journey. This new endeavor will be different. This time I intended to bring more power to the smallholders and farmers in creating a sustainable chain that can give value and impact on their lives. And I named this enterprise Talasi which in sanskrit depicts trees that always bear flowers, fruits and new leaves, and a sweet fragrance or cornflower in Latin America.

Talasi is about exploring and discovering the potential in the obscurity. Talasi is about setting up and operating at the Origin. Talasi is about working with the community, providing them with knowledge, skills and tools. Investing at the grassroots level and connecting the chain to sustain and maintain nature while enhancing livelihoods. With the end game of empowerment to the people of the land.

With the creation of our premium honest brands, Watu and Toye across food and natural ingredient products, everyone can be part of this vision with each purchase in support of the same values and mission to empower the grassroots communities.

We will soon complete our full facilities and retreat in Sumba which is currently roasting our Watu cashews. And our Batukaru Talasi Retreat, Bali opened earlier this year with Flores next in line.

I am excited about what the future holds for “the Origin” and I would like to take this opportunity to extend my personal humble invitation to each and everyone you to visit us and “Experience Talasi”.
