🎬 They Defied the Odds and Built a $1B Coffee Empire That Rivals Starbucks!
In 2017, Edward had a wild thought: why should great coffee be a luxury? Major coffee chains were too expensive, so he and his friend, James Prananto took a risk. We started small, but demand exploded. Now? 800+ stores. Three countries. A billion-dollar empire. Here’s how they brewed success.

Ever tasted the bitter brew of a dream gone cold?

Edward Tirtanata did when his tea chain, Lewis and Carroll, stalled out.

Before Kopi Kenangan’s rise, he watched his fifth, sixth, and seventh tea stores limp along, "nowhere near profitable," a quiet gut punch that taught him markets don’t bend to wishful thinking.

Then there was his father’s financial tumble - a call from his mom pulling him back from college to face a family in crisis.

Starting Kopi Kenangan wasn’t smooth either; with just $15,000, they overshot the budget, scrambling as the contractor waited patiently for payment.

The pandemic piled on, urging him to shutter stores while others waved the white flag.

But Edward stirred resilience into every setback.

The tea failure sharpened his focus on demand, not just ideas.

That first store’s profits erased debts in three months, proving grit pays.

Against Covid’s chill, he opened more doors, betting on data and lower costs.

From driving around Jakarta for creamer to eyeing 3,000 stores by 2028, he turned stumbles into stepping stones.

Failure didn’t sour him it fueled a sweeter success.

From scrambling for creamer in his Toyota Innova, he built a coffee empire - over 850 stores across Southeast Asia, $106 million in 2023 revenue, and five million cups sold monthly.

Backed by stars like Serena Williams and Jay-Z, he’s not just surviving he’s thriving, proving failure’s a brew you can turn into gold.
