This full roast is a blend of medium and dark roasts enhancing the low acidity, body and bold finish of this classic varietal coffee. It comes from a collaborative organic coffee project founded in 1997 in the highland area of Takengon in Indonesia's Aceh Province. This rugged and scenic area is located in the northwestern corner of the island of Sumatra and is the home of the distinctive Gayo ethnic group. Co-op members are small-scale coffee farmers dedicated to producing 100% shade-grown, organic coffee. It has maintained relative peace and unity among an ethnically diverse membership comprised of Gayo, Javanese, Acehnese, Padang, and Batak peoples. Twenty percent of PPKGO's members are women.
The project involves a partnership between five local organic farmer associations, a team of organic agriculture field extensionists, and a community-based coffee processing company that has been in business for over thirty years.
