Organic Sumatra Queen Ketiara - 12oz Bag

DESCRIPTION:Grown totally by women, Queen Ketiara is a very unique coffee. It cups great and we especially liked that we are supporting the local women that are in need. Many are widows supporting themselves by working with coffee and we wanted to show our support to them.

In spite of its relatively young age, Ketiara quickly has established itself as one the most-respected Fair Trade cooperatives in the Gayo Highlands of Sumatra due to the excellent quality of its coffees, efficient contract performance, and a focus on innovation and continuous improvement. The group's leader, Rahmah, is a force in the local coffee industry in spite of being a woman in the traditional, male-dominated Gayonese society. Her vision and tenacity have served as the foundation for Ketiara's success, and within a few short years we have developed a strong relationship with the group.

FLAVORS: In contrast to the classic Sumatra profile dominated by notes of earth, cedar, and bell pepper, Ketiara's coffees often feature fruit tones ranging from cherry and grape to citrus and pineapple, combined with lively acidity and creamy body.
