Roaster notes
This coffee comes from the Kopepi Ketiara Cooperative in the Aceh Tengah region of Sumatra, boasting 1502 members in 19 different villages. Led by forward-thinking chairwoman Ms. Rahmah, they are not only known as leaders within the region with respect to coffee quality but also in how they prioritize women's empowerment, education, and land ownership. This has established a stable market for coop members, often yielding three times the average price in an otherwise volatile, male-dominated market.
Roaster
They took a pioneering approach to sourcing coffee through a relationship model, placing emphasis on direct trade as a way to support thriving livelihoods for producers at origin. They earned Roast Magazine's prestigious 'Roaster of the Year' award in 2013, are home to the first barista union in the USA and are currently transitioning to a worker-owned company. Gimme! Coffee roasts all their coffee on two Probat drum-style roasters at their facility in Ithaca, NY.
