Sumatra Mandheling

GARMINDO cooperative's full name is the Gayo Arabica Mahkota Indonesia Cooperative, and it is an association started in 2019 with 625 smallholder farmer members. This coffee comes from the women coffee producers subgroup. A price premium is paid directly to the women above and beyond the quality premium.

Sumatran coffees have long been distinct for their earthy, savory, somewhat vegetal or herbaceous characteristics, in part contributed by the climate and the mix of varieties grown, but also due to a specific post-harvest processing style called Wet-Hulling, which imparts much of the unique qualities these coffees have.

Aceh, in northern Sumatra, is an incredible region for coffee production. The region is diverse, geographically speaking. It is surrounded by beaches with a swampy inland, and the Barisan Mountains make up the inner two-thirds of the area. Coffee is grown on this volcanic mountain amongst the rainforest.
