Beans from this Indonesian island are unlike any other in the world. This is due to their unique processing protocol, which falls somewhere between washed and unwashed. Kokowagayo (Gayo Women Coffee Cooperative) is the first all-women cooperative in the coffee industry in Sumatra. Established in 2014, it is located in the Gayo Mountain region in the Aceh Province, Sumatra. We roast this one a bit darker to augment the heavy body and accentuate the inherent earth notes in the cup. If you use cream and/or sugar, try this!
