At the base of Mount Kerinci, a group of innovative producers is breaking away from the long-standing tradition of wet-hulling coffee. Their dedication to the honey-process method has produced exceptional coffee that has consistently impressed us for multiple years. Indonesia, once considered a dormant coffee origin, is now beginning to realize its vast potential. Traditionally, wet-hulling has been the norm for Indonesian coffee. When combined with a heavily developed roast, this method results in a very distinct farthy and mushroom-like profile. However, this process often masks the true flavors of the terroir, concealing Indonesia's potential for differentiation and future value in its coffees.
The Kerinci Farmers are pioneers in showcasing the untapped potential and uniqueness of Indonesian coffee. By adopting the honey-process method, they are unveiling the rich and diverse flavors inherent in their coffee, allowing the true essence of the terroir to shine through. This shift not only highlights the exceptional quality of their beans but also paves the way for Indonesia to establish itself as a significant player in the global coffee market. The dedication and hard work of the Kerinci Farmers are a testament to the bright future of Indonesian coffee, promising a new era of flavor and distinction.

In the highlands of Kerinci, a new vision for Indonesian coffee is taking shape. Over our four-year relationship with producer Triyono, we’ve watched a humble yet ambitious leader turn a regional cooperative into a catalyst for innovation, quality, and community. Through an 8-day anaerobic honey process, this lot delivers a profile that’s vibrant, clean, and fruit-forward—challenging Indonesia’s long-standing wet-hulled tradition while preserving the region’s signature sweetness and body.
