Jaya Tani Farm - Indonesia (Anaeorbic Natural)

The Kerinci Regency, located within the Jambi province on the island of Sumatra in
Indonesia, is an area renowned for its world-class coffee production. Nestled amongst majestic rainforests, with its highest peak Mount Kerinci reaching an impressive 3,800 masl, this region has proven to be highly conducive to successful coffee cultivation.

The Koerintji Barokah Bersama Cooperative, founded by Triyono in 2017, is one of the most successful cooperatives in this region, comprising 380 members who cultivate coffee on over 200 hectares of land across the village of Jernih Jaya and nearby areas. 

The harvested beans are first soaked in water to remove floaters before undergoing an 8-day fermentation process. During this time, the coffees are stored in plastic bags which are flipped twice a day to ensure even and consistent fermentation. The coffee is then dried on raised beds for 22-25 days before undergoing a two week resting period. The beans then go through hulling and gravity grading, where defective beans are removed to ensure that only the highest quality coffee remains.

The cooperative’s commitment to quality led them to win several national-level competitions since their establishment. In 2021 they achieved a remarkable 6th place in the Cup of Excellence competition. Additionally, to improve farm productivity, cooperative members have incorporated shade trees and an agroforestry system that benefits both the environment and coffee farmers’ incomes.
