Indonesian brand Kenangan Coffee expands global footprint with Taiwan launch

Taiwan – Kenangan Coffee has officially entered the Taiwanese market with the opening of its first store at Shin Kong Mitsukoshi A11 in Taipei, marking its latest step in international expansion and introducing Indonesian coffee to a broader global audience while reinforcing Indonesia’s presence on the global coffee map.

Taiwan is viewed as a strategic market for Kenangan Coffee’s continued international growth. The company’s entry into the country was made possible through a partnership with a local partner that supports the brand’s expansion into the market, where it sees growing demand for quality coffee amid shifting consumer preferences. 

The opening ceremony, held last April 10, 2026, was attended by Edward Tirtanata, Group CEO and Co-Founder of Kenangan Brands; Peter Wu, Co-Founder of Kenangan Coffee Taiwan; Sophia Hsu, Partner of Kenangan Coffee Taiwan; and other partners and invited guests.

Prior to the launch, Kenangan Coffee Taiwan had a soft opening starting March 28, 2026, which has drawn an average of around 350 visitors per day on weekends and 250 on weekdays. As part of the launch, the outlet introduced a special pistachio macchiato alongside its core menu featuring Indonesian coffee beans adapted to local tastes.

The expansion into Taiwan follows the brand’s presence across Southeast Asia and other international markets. Founded in 2017, Kenangan Coffee now operates more than 1,400 outlets globally, including in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Australia, and India.

Commenting on the launch, Tirtanata said, “We are very proud to introduce Kenangan Coffee to Taiwan as part of our global expansion journey. Through this expansion, we want to introduce the richness of Indonesian coffee to a wider audience, not just as a commodity, but as a brand from Indonesia to the world. We hope to build strong connections, not only with the Indonesian community in Taiwan, but also with the local Taiwanese community.”
