The 320 members of the Koerintji Barokah Bersama Cooperative live and farm on a plateau that sits at
the foot of Mount Kerinci on the island of Sumatra. Mount Kerinci is one of the many volcanoes in the
Pacific Ring of Fire, a 40,000-kilometer horseshoe-shaped series of 452 volcanoes that are part of an
almost constant dance of eruptions and plate movements. Mount Kerinci’s historic eruptions have
assured that the surrounding area is lush and verdant with a deep supply of fertile volcanic soil. The
cooperative is managed by Triyono, who leads members in processing and roasting their own coffees.
They have a fully outfitted roasting facility, including a cupping lab, next to the dry mill. This is especially
impressive considering the cooperative was founded in mid-2017! The resulting notes are green apple,
pear, wild berries, honey and roasted nuts.
