Coconut Sap Tapping

Tuak Fermentation Process

Wood-Fired Distillation

Packaging into Bottles

The sap is collected directly from the flowers of the coconut palm in the morning and afternoon.

The coconut sap is naturally fermented into fresh tuak, which serves as the base ingredient.

The tuak is heated over a traditional wood-fired stove until the vapor flows and is distilled into arak.

The arak is allowed to rest briefly before being carefully bottled by hand.
