Organic India Robusta Cherry AA - Fair Trade
New Arrival from India
FEBRUARY 16,2022
Cherry Robusta coffee from India is one of the world’s great Robustas. Most countries consider Robusta as the poor relation of the coffee family. However in India they apply the same care to the cultivation, harvest and processing of Robusta coffee as they do to Arabica. In fact, Robusta production in India is almost double that of Arabica. All high-quality, natural or dry-processed Robusta and Arabica coffees in India are known as Cherry. This is not to be confused with the cherry fruit on the coffee tree! Cherry A indicates it is one of the highest grades of Indian coffee.
Generally roasted robusta beans produce a strong, full-bodied coffee with a distinctive earthy flavour. There may be more bitterness than Arabica. However, some coffee drinkers love the powerful flavour for its strength and finish. Moreover, Cherry Robusta is important in traditional Italian coffee culture, especially for espresso blends. Some baristas also claim that Cherry Robusta gives a better foam or crema on the coffee.

The Asociación de Productores Cafetaleros Juan Marco "El Palto" – in short, JUMARP – was founded in 2003 by José Carranza Barboza and 35 other smallholder farmers. The association was born out of a desire to develop a new, producer-focused model for growing and exporting coffee.
All 188 members produce certified organic and Fairtrade coffee. The cooperative invests the premiums received from these certifications in a number of important community projects, including crop renovations, a fund for education programs and the construction of schools.
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. Funded by Fairtrade and Organic premiums as well as through government funding and member contributions, the program helped successfully raise general overall cup scores to 83-84. To achieve this, they built drying houses, manual pulpers and fermentation tanks at all member farms and helped members plant higher quality varieties.

Fazenda Bela Época Organic Coffee
New Arrival from Brazil
JANUARY 7,2022
Fazenda Bela Época has been growing coffee for more than 80 years across three generations of producers passionate about coffee growing. The production process is harmonious, passing through selective harvest and post-harvest stages, with discerning selection of beans and carefully managed drying.
Luís Cláudio Cunha, along with his brother, André Luís, and their sister Silvia, inherited the family business from their attentive father, Luís da Cunha Sobrinho. With the goal of producing quality coffee, the family is undertaking new projects where the selection of varieties incorporates sensory evaluation of the final beverage. They prioritize post-harvest processing, which includes Washed, Natural, Pulped Natural and mechanical drying.
The passion for coffee agriculture has become their greatest motivation in growing the family’s coffee fields, that along with leaving a legacy for the next generation to continue. 370 hectares of the farm’s total 470 are planted with coffee.
Fazenda Bela Época is located in Ribeirão Corrente, São Paulo state, and the farm prioritizes environmental responsibility, producing coffee without contaminating the landscape and while preserving natural resources and ecosystems. The family’s commitment to social equity and sustainability puts people first and demonstrates the future they wish to create for Brazilian coffee.

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.
