Sumatra - Fair Trade

CURRENTLY SOLD OUT - Our crowd-favorite Sumatran coffee will return later in 2026. Communities, families and farms across Indonesia are still navigating extremely difficult recovery and relief efforts from the devastating flooding in late 2025. We patiently await our fresh crop of green and wish safety and rapid recovery to all! 

Aceh, the northernmost province of Sumatra, is known for its unique coffee terroir, with heirloom cultivars, fertile microclimates, and wet-hulled processing. Our coffee comes from PT Ketiara, a group founded in 2009 by Ms. Rahmah, one of Indonesia’s top coffee entrepreneurs, who started as a local cherry collector.

Ms. Rahmah’s leadership in Sumatra’s male-dominated coffee industry emphasizes gender diversity and farmer support. What began as a Fair Trade-certified cooperative with 38 members has grown to nearly 2000, with multiple sub-companies offering various coffee qualities and certifications.
