Coffee of the Month December 2023 - Indonesia Sumatra Organic

"Good afternoon. May I please have two packets of Sumatra Espresso from you? Please grind on setting four." I take out the two packets of coffee and grind the coffee beans with the Mahlkonig grinder on setting four. What a treat! The rich aromas released during grinding surprise me every time. The coffee is intense and sweet at the same time, has flavor notes of chocolate and black currant and also has a wonderful story! This coffee truly has everything.

The cooperative behind this coffee is called Ketiara and was founded by a woman, Rahmah, which is special for North Sumatra. Ketiara has earned a well-deserved reputation as a producer of excellent Fairtrade and organic coffee. They are always looking to improve and innovate and are community-oriented. The cooperative pays high prices for the coffee, keeping producers coming back year after year. Focusing on supporting and empowering women in the community, the cooperative is as much as 75% women.

Boot Koffie pays a higher price so we get the best quality lot of 85+ coffee.

"Sir, I have here for you the ground Indonesia Sumatra." I tell the gentleman about the powerful Indonesian women's coffee with the wonderful story. Both of us are thrilled that the Indonesia Sumatra Organic is the "Coffee of the Month. This means that our baristas serve this coffee in the store all month and you get a 10% discount to taste this coffee at home.

Happiness through Taste!
