The Koperasi Pedagang Kopi Ketiara is a women-run cooperative that has over 890 grower-members, founded in 2008 by Ibu Rahmah, the current chairwoman, who had operated and managed her family’s coffee business for 20 years-purchasing cherries, processing the green, and selling to local traders. The wet-hulled, sun-dried process creates an earthy, complex flavor profile that is unlike any other coffee. Aceh is the northernmost province in Sumatra, and its citizens have their own religion, dialects, and traditions, including the ways in which they process their coffee. This extraordinary export from the Aceh region, containing Tim-Tim, Djember, and Ateng varietals, is smooth and rich. 20 screen, which is about as big as Arabica beans can get. The coop offers the local farmers competitive prices for their berries as well as training opportunities.Do you love earthy, fragrant Sumatran coffee? You'll love this new Gayo Region Organic blended Arabica coffee. In 2018 Asman formed the Ribang Gayo Musara Cooperative – a collective of more than 350 small farms in the region. Asman Arianto was the first coffee farmer in this region to try out different processing methods from the traditional wet processing primarily used in the Indonesian islands.


The Aceh Province forms the northernmost region of the island of Sumatra. Drop a note in the reviews if you find a brew method that you particularly like! Try a Hario pour over if you want to enhance those sweet fruity notes, or pull an espresso shot if you want to experience all the rich dark chocolate notes! We think everything in between tastes good too, from coffee maker to Chemex. This one brews up really well with any method. It has a subtle sweet fruitiness (think ripe-on-the-bush blackberries), and a rich chocolate finish. We love it – it is super smooth and well balanced. And processing can have a big impacted on flavor! So no surprise that this one is a bit unique for the region. This is not your typical Sumatra roast! For one it’s naturally processed – most beans from Indonesia are wet processed.
