We’re proud to support their carbon capture agroforestry project. Working with 3 other cooperatives and Café Selva Norte, JUMARP members use sustainable agroforestry techniques to protect the environment while improving coffee quality and yield.

Their ambitious quality improvement program launched in 2012 and was completed in 2021.

Bener Meriah Gayo Mandheling Organic Fair Trade

New Arrival from Indonesia

NOVEMBER 16,2021

This lot has a familiar place each year at Royal that you might not recognize. That’s because the ASKOGO cooperative has taken on a new name this year. Now the cooperative is called Gayo Arabika Mahkota Indonesia (GARMINDO).  But everything else about this coffee continues to be exactly what you have come to expect from the Bener Meriah regency of the Aceh province, a growing region acclaimed among coffee experts for its cup profiles and classic Indoniasian style of coffee cultivation and processing. The cooperative has more than 500 members with farms that average less than 3 acres in size. Producers belong to the Gayonese ethnic group and maintain a traditional village lifestyle. A large percentage of the producers are women who rely on coffee income to support their families. Each producer carefully sorts their harvested cherries before depulping and fermenting overnight with personal micro-mills. Then the coffee is washed and laid out on patios to shed the excess water from the parchment covered beans. Next the coffee takes a detour from the conventional path of processing in other origins, wherein, the coffee parchment is removed while the coffee still has a high moisture content. This wet-hulling process, called Giling Basah in the Indonesian language, leaves the coffee bean exposed while drying on patios to a moisture percentage acceptable for export. This Indonesian processing method gives the bean its unique bluish hue and the hallmark Indonesian profile. With Indonesian coffees, half the battle is overcoming logistical challenges like rugged roads and unpredictable torrents of rain. Garmindo takes on an important role of organizing local warehouses and transportation so farmers can overcome these challenges. Garmindo also collaborates with PT. Sumatera Arabika Gayo (SAG), which operates its own dry-mill in Aceh to swiftly bring the coffee to the international market, ensuring greater earnings for producers.

The Klem family estate, located in the Matas de Minas growing region near the city of Luisburgo, has a reputation for producing quality coffee recognized in several cupping competitions including a third-place finish in Brazil’s 2017 Cup of Excellence. But the Klem family is driven beyond quality. They have spent more than 50 years producing organic coffee on 430 acres. And by no means alone. The Klem family has a partnership with 50 families who work on the estates and share in the profits. This co-ownership has created an incredibly dynamic and efficient estate where bananas, avocados, vegetables, eggs, and honey are also organically produced. At the same time more than 5000 native trees are planted each year in the constantly expanding forest preserve. During the harvest coffee cherries are floated to remove less dense and damaged coffee, and then placed on patios to pre-dry before being moved to mechanical driers to precisely finish the drying to 11.5 percent moisture. After drying, the coffee is carefully stored until it is time for milling and export, which is also done at the Klem estate where they have their own cupping lab to ensure the quality of exported coffee.

Nicaragua Rio Coco CORCASAN Organic Fair Trade

New Arrival from Nicaragua

AUGUST 10,2021

CORCASAN is the first cooperative founded in the Madríz department of Nicaragua, with its roots going back to 1978. CORCASAN is made up of 248 smallholder producers with an average farm size of two hectares of land. 66 of the members are women and all members are certified Organic. The cooperative has members in all municipalities of San Juan del Río Coco and has set themselves apart as a cooperative known for a high-quality product, producing clean coffee, and adhering to international Organic certification standards for the last fifteen years.

Most cooperative members represent family farms. These farms have traditionally been passed down through generations and the large farms of the past have been distributed into smaller parcels. Farm workers are usually the family members living on the farm, who remain connected with the farm and their land year-round. Producers’ proximity to their farms has facilitated the implementation of training and technical assistance to improve yields and quality.

CORCASAN has been fortunate to receive technical assistance from various parties. International NGO Catholic Relief Service has been training co-op members since 2012 and local exporter Expocamo has provided further training focused on quality since 2017. These trainings helped to combat coffee leaf rust using organic practices and to provide nutritional plans for families. Integrated programs maintain both the farm’s organic practices while improving income and livelihood security. Collaborative trainings strengthen the relationship between the co-op and its members.

CORCASAN has chosen to focus on producing specialty coffee and distinguish itself for quality in addition to earning certifications.
