The Bagek Kembar Mangrove Ecosystem, located in Persiapan Empol Village, holds considerable potential for ecotourism development and sustainable natural resource utilization. This mangrove forest not only functions as a natural coastal barrier but also presents economic opportunities, such as the production of herbal coffee from mangrove fruits. This community service initiative aimed to increase public awareness of the various benefits of mangroves, with a particular focus on utilizing Rhizophora sp. fruits for coffee production. The program was implemented in two phases: an educational session on mangrove coffee and a hands-on training workshop on its production. The results demonstrated an improvement in the community's understanding of how mangrove fruits can be transformed into innovative products. During the second phase, participants received practical training on the step-by-step process of making mangrove coffee, which was produced in two variants: 100% pure mangrove coffee powder and a blended variant with additional ingredients.
