About

Indonesian-born-and-raised, Mikey (they/them) discovered coffee during grad school. After stints as a production roaster, they founded New Math in 2020 to highlight specialty Asian coffee.

The focus on Asia has enabled New Math to source coffees that aren’t often offered, let alone discussed, by American specialty roasteries. This includes non-arabica coffees like hi-quality robustas and libericas from Southeast Asia. Coffees like these not only allow Mikey to maintain connection to their home region. They also push New Math to adopt a more catholic view on good coffee and roasting beyond just hi-scoring arabicas.
