The premiums paid by Nespresso for high-quality beans enables farmers to support their families and empowers the cooperative to invest in the local community. Unauthorized use is prohibited.Īs a result, Nespresso has a sustainable source of Master Origin Indonesia Arabica and the Gayo Fairtrade cooperative members earn more for their coffee. Process improvements include increasing the volume of high-quality coffee produced to ensure a steady supply for Nespresso’s coffee connoisseurs.
Launched in 2003, it works to create long-term, sustainable coffee quality by building direct relationships with local growers.ĪAA agronomists help farmers achieve consistent results using the unusual wet-hulling process that gives Aceh’s coffee its distinctive taste. The cooperative-named Ara (“this is”) Cahayani (“sun or light”) Gayo (for Aceh’s location in the Gayo Highlands)-has 1,800 farmer-members who receive hands-on technical support from Nespresso agronomists, premiums for producing high-quality coffee, and other incentives and benefits offered through Nespresso’s AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program. To bring the Master Origin Indonesia Arabica to the world, Nespresso, Fairtrade, and coffee supplier Olam established a new Fairtrade coffee cooperative in Aceh in 2017. “Together with the plant varieties and the particular microbes that get into the beans and affect the fermentation, the wet hulling creates this unique flavor most often likened to the taste or aromatics of cured pipe tobacco.”
Yet, instead of damaging coffee quality, Shirin says, the imperfections caused by wet hulling actually help enhance the flavor. Since the Sumatran cherries are much wetter when they are hulled, the beans take a bit of a beating in the process.
