Sumatra 
Kerinci Highlands

The Kerinci Highlands coffee is not just a product of nature; it’s a testament to the craftsmanship and community spirit of the farmers who cultivate it. Nestled in the volcanic highlands of Sumatra, the Kerinci region is home to 165 smallholder farmers, many of whom have inherited the coffee-growing tradition from previous generations. These farmers have a deep connection to the land, and their dedication is evident in every step of the process—from careful cultivation to the innovative washed method that enhances the clarity of flavors in the final cup.

 

This coffee’s journey is supported by the invaluable partnership with Craig & Susan Owens of Santiang Exports, who have worked tirelessly with these producers to improve drying, sorting, and overall process control. Their hands-on approach and attention to detail have allowed these smallholders to elevate their coffee to new heights. Record-keeping, consistency, and a commitment to sustainable farming practices ensure that each lot is of the highest quality.

 

The Kerinci Highlands coffee represents the evolution of Indonesian coffee over the past two decades, showcasing the potential of the region through dedication to excellence. The care that goes into each harvest, combined with the unique highland microclimate, results in a coffee that’s as complex as it is satisfying. Each cup tells the story of the land, the farmers, and the evolving craft of coffee production in Sumatra.
