Plateau of Mount Kerinci.

This is our second year selecting a coffee from the Kerinci farm in Sumatra, after being impressed with last years harvest. This year we have a Andung Sari & Sigarar Utang varietal that underwent a natural process.

The Koerintji Barokah Bersama Cooperative is made up of over 320 members who reside and farm on the side of Mount Kerinci. Under the guidance of Triyono, who manages the cooperative, the members are guided in the processing of their own coffee. We are thrilled to see such innovative processing coming out of Indonesia.

The Producer

The KBB cooperative was founded in 2017 located on a plateau beneath Mount Kerinci in Sumatra, Indonesia. This area is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, which has 452 volcanoes over a 40,000km stretch. The area's rich volcanic soil, created by past eruptions, has nurtured vegetation, making it excellent for farming coffee.

The cherries are handpicked, usually by the immediate family. This lot has undergone a natural process, with cherry being sorted before drying on raised beds. The beds are located in domes to protect the coffee from harsh sunlight and rain. When dry, the harvest is milled and sorted by hand.

  • Natural

    Ripe cherries are dried whole commonly on patio’s, drying beds or even the bare earth allowing the bean to ferment naturally encased by its fruit.

    The cherries are turned regularly to reduce the risk of defects and ensure even drying.

    Once the cherries resemble raisins and the target parameters are met the coffee is hulled and sorted in the dry mill.
