Garmindo-BOLD

From the incredible region of Aceh in northern Sumatra comes this excellent Fair Trade and Organic coffee. We roast it big and bold to bring out the rich and heavy flavors of burnt marshmallows and dark chocolate. I guess you could call it our preferred campfire coffee, instantly transporting you to cool weather and a crackling fire. 

While it tastes amazing as it is, this coffee is also strong enough to hang with some cream and sugar for a decadent cup. 

We've sourced this coffee from a women producers subgroup from the cooperative Garmindo (hence the name!). The average farm size in Sumatra is less than 1 hectare up to about 3 hectares, so the women will bring their coffee cherries to a collection point to be depulped and processed. Women do a substantial amount of labor in the coffee sector in Sumatra (about 80% of producers are women!), but as in many places there are legal obstacles to their overall success and prosperity. These women in the Garmindo cooperative are paid a gender-equity premium to use as they see fit.
