SUMATRA - Kerinci

Sumatra Kerinci comes from members of the Koerintji Barokah Bersama Cooperative who live and farm at the foot of Mount Kerinci. The 320 member coop was founded in 2017 and is managed by Triyono, who leads members in processing and roasting their own coffees. Producers pay a one-time membership fee of around 400 dollars to join the coop and receive technical support and seedlings for shade trees to plant on and around their farms. Members of the coop have a fixed buyer for their cherries, and at the end of the year, the coop invests its profits in either infrastructure to increase quality, or shares them as quality premiums with the member producers

This coffee was purchased using Bellwether’s Living Income Pricing benchmark which ensures that coffee producers were paid a fair, sustainable wage. By purchasing this coffee you’re helping interrupt poverty among coffee farmers by paying a price that closes the living income gap
