Indonesia – Sumatra Orangutan Project – Traditional Wet-Hulled

Farmer: Various smallholder families

This unique coffee comes from our Orangutan Coffee Project partners in Indonesia.
This is a project we have been supporting for several years now & it focuses around two main initiatives.

The first is an agreement with the coffee farmers in which they must meet the following 3 criteria:

1) Do not use any agricultural chemicals such as synthetic fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides.
2) Agree not to clear tropical rainforest in order to expand their farmland.
3) Commit to refrain from hunting, catching or trading any protected species of animal or plant.

The second initiative supports an Orangutan conservation program that cares for, protects and rehabilitates injured, orphaned and rescued Orangutans. We pay a premium for each kilogram of coffee we buy that goes directly to supporting these two projects.

We are committed to continuing our partnership with the Orangutan Coffee Project and we visited Sumatra in 2019 to see firsthand how the programs are benefiting the communities, rainforest conservation and the endangered local wildlife.

Tasting Notes: Sweet spice, cocoa nibs and a pleasant herbal flavour. A round and juicy body with a lingering aftertaste.
