This coffee celebrates the promotion and innovation of women in the coffee industry in Sumatra and the dedication of the Ketiara Cooperative in their efforts to protect their local ecosystem. The ‘Queen’ designation means that a percentage of the proceeds goes back into funding programs that benefit women in Indonesia.
 
This very special coffee is organically grown by the women of the Ketiara Co-op in the Gayo highland region of Northern Sumatra. Due to being shade grown in the volcanic soil of the tropical forests of Leuser National Park, each cup brings a brilliant splash of acidity perfectly merged with a creamy body, sweet fruit tones and a richly rounded aftertaste.
 
The flavours that emerge with a full roast are toasted hazelnuts, vanilla and milk chocolate coupled with tangerine and cloves.
 
The flavour notes of milk chocolate and hazelnuts match well with a Chocolate Hazelnut Shortbread from The Northumbrian Bakehouse. You can find the full range here- The Northumbrian Bakehouse.
