Sumatra KSU Rahmad Kinara Mandheling Grade 1 Organic Fair Trade

Tradition runs deep in the Aceh province on the island of Sumatra, renowned for cup profiles and the classic Indonesian style of coffee cultivation and processing.  Coffee is cultivated and harvested from farms that average less than 3 acres in size.  Producers belong to the Gayonese ethnic group and maintain a traditional village lifestyle that includes houses that resemble ships. Seventy percent of the producers are women who rely on coffee income to support their families.

The Rahmad Kinara Cooperative, with nearly 1200 coffee producing members, takes on an important role of organizing local warehouses and transportation so farmers can overcome these challenges. Rahmad Kinara receives wet hulled coffee from farmers and carries out the subsequent drying, and the dry-mill process to swiftly bring the coffee to the international market, ensuring consistent quality control and greater earnings for producers.

This peaty, herbaceous cup has notes of grapefruit, apricot, and fig. Also available in Dark Roast.
