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, each of whom owns
less than 1.5 hectares of farmland, on average. The association was founded by our partner
Sakdan, who owns and operates the Bergandal Farm and Mill: He and his brothers were raised
in a coffee-producing family and have long been supporters of their fellow farmers.Members bring their coffee in cherry form to a collection point where it is depulped, fermented
underwater for 12 hours, and given a pre-dry before undergoing the Wet-Hulling process. The
coffee is dried on patios and typically takes 2–3 days under sunny conditions. It can take up to 7
days when the weather is rainy and humid. The Cup: Earthy with mild almond and malt flavors.

Sumatra Dark Roast 1lb
Our Fair Trade Organic Sumatra Arabica coffee come from the 363 members of the Serba Usaha Qahwah Tanoh Gayo cooperative, 105 of whom are women. The co-op is located in the Aceh Province of Indonesia. Most farms are no more than 10 years old and consistently maintain a high yield; the rich volcanic soil, desirable elevation, and proper balance of shade trees throughout the farms prove a direct positive effect on the coffee. Once harvested all coffee is wet-hulled, sun-dried, and cupped by the co-op's quality control team. You
can't miss the flavors of spice, wine and dark chocolate.
