Welcome to the Pinnacle of Coffee Culture
In the heart of Jakarta’s skyline, perched atop the highest bar in Indonesia, lies Eden Bar—an elegant venue where the aroma of perfectly brewed coffee meets panoramic views. On a remarkable evening at Pan Pacific Jakarta, coffee lovers and connoisseurs gathered for “Beyond the Blend: A Journey to Pan Pacific Jakarta’s Signature Coffee”, a celebration of flavor, craftsmanship, and collaboration.
A Signature Blend Like No Other
This event introduced the exclusive Pacific Signature Blend, a unique coffee blend available only at Pan Pacific Jakarta. In collaboration with UCC Coffee and Sanpellegrino, and distributed exclusively in Indonesia by PT. Bahana Genta Victory (BGV), this signature offering highlights the refined taste and commitment to excellence shared by each brand.
The blend itself is a medium roast that harmoniously combines the finest Arabica beans from Java and Sulawesi with bold Robusta from Sumatra. Each sip delivers a balanced cup—floral, smooth, and complex, echoing Indonesia’s rich coffee heritage.
The Experience Unfolds: Coffee as a Lifestyle

The event kicked off at 4:55 PM with a warm welcome from the MC and the General Manager, Mr. Sjefke Jansen, who shared his appreciation for everyone’s presence and emphasized the innovation Pan Pacific Jakarta continues to pursue in culinary and beverage experiences.
The Coffee Deep Dive with Afiyono Sudrajat

Afie reminded us that coffee is more than just a drink—it’s a lifestyle. It brings people together, energizes our mornings, enhances our routines, and reflects our personal tastes. From caffeine kick to comforting warmth, coffee fuels culture.
