Kota Kinabalu (Capital City)
There's more to your cup of coffee than you think! The Coffee Experience Tour at the Cap Kuda Coffee Factory gives caffeine aficionados an opportunity to learn more about their favourite beverage, its origin, manufacturing process and history. The Cap Kuda Coffee Company (or Yap Yu Sendirian Berhad, trading as Hock Lee Coffee Powder Factory) was established in the early 1960s. Today, it is one of the largest coffee manufacturers in Sabah, operating from specialized office-plant on a 1.5-acre site.
The tour begins at the Coffee School, where visitors are introduced to the various types of beans, followed by a tour of the factory. At each station, the guide gives a step-by-step explanation of the process, allowing visitors to see, touch, smell and even taste the coffee in various forms. The highlight of the tour is none other than the coffee tasting session. Learn the difference between a cappuccino, espresso and Sabah's very own concoction, the Kopi-O, also known as Borneo's Drink.
At the end of the tour, visit their showroom and purchase your favourite coffee products. The Coffee School also offers specialized courses for coffee enthusiasts, teaching them how to brew coffee for personal or commercial needs.
