Washed Alko Kerinci Sumatra

Grown in the fertile soils of Sumatra’s Kerinci region, near the island’s largest national park, ALKO coffee offers more than just exceptional taste—it’s a story of sustainability and empowerment. With over 400 farmers in its cooperative, ALKO uses blockchain technology to trace every bean from farm to cup, ensuring transparency and protecting the park’s precious ecosystem, home to the critically endangered Sumatran tiger. This innovative approach not only safeguards the environment but also ensures farmers receive fair pay, creating a stronger, more equitable future for their communities.

Each bean is crafted through a meticulous full-wash process that begins with pulping the cherries and fermenting them in water for up to 100 hours. After thorough washing, the beans are dried for 20 days to achieve a perfect moisture level, before being hulled, sorted, and graded. The result is a coffee with herbal and spicy notes, a smooth, balanced body, and deep tobacco and woody undertones that linger beautifully. Perfect as a single-origin brew or cold brew, its well-rounded acidity enhances every sip. Choosing ALKO coffee means savouring exceptional flavour while supporting sustainable farming and fair livelihoods.
