Our Story
A journey of love, culture, and plant-based purpose.
I left Indonesia in 2002 with nothing but dreams and my grandmother's tempeh recipe. What began in my American kitchen became Mayasari Tempeh—turning ancient Indonesian fermentation into powerful plant-based nutrition.
But here's what makes us different: every bite funds children's education back home in Indonesia. This isn't just food—it's love crossing oceans, one family recipe at a time.

The SoyaMaya Difference
Grown in Our Backyard, Crafted for Your Kitchen
At Mayasari Tempeh, we believe the best food comes from the ground you know. That’s why our SoyaMaya Protein Tempeh Chips are made with premium non-GMO soybeans, and our Fresh Frozen Tempeh is made with premium organic soybeans. This ensures quality and freshness in every bite.
We’ve perfected our recipe by blending high-protein soybeans (containing 42% protein!) with high oleic soybeans. The result is a win-win: authentic Indonesian tempeh that’s packed with health benefits and delivers a deliciously nutty, satisfying taste.

How It's Made
From Our Farm to Your Table
- Harvested In-House
- Prepared with Care
- Fermented Naturally
- Handcrafted & Packaged
We start with whole, organic, non-GMO soybeans, grown and harvested with care from our own fields.
Our farm-grown soybeans are the heart of everything we make — from our fresh-frozen tempeh to our high-protein snack chips.
By controlling the process from seed to shelf, we ensure clean, nutrient-dense food made with integrity.

The soybeans are dehulled, cooked, and carefully prepared to create the perfect foundation for fermentation.
Every batch of tempeh begins with patience. We remove the outer skin of each soybean, steam it to perfection, and prepare it for natural fermentation — ensuring optimal texture, nutrition, and authentic flavor.
