The passion and commitment of the women managers to have all members working together in support of coffee production has enabled Ketiara to expand and become an important supplier to larger coffee traders in Medan, the capital of North Sumatra. The Ketiara Cooperative was started in 2008 by Ibu Rahmah, the current chairwoman, who had operated and managed her family’s coffee business for 20 years-purchasing cherries, processing the green, and selling to local traders.

The Koperasi Pedagang Kopi Ketiara is a women-run cooperative that has over 890 grower-members. From the natural wonder of the Sumatran rainforest, this coffee embodies the majestic diversity and complexity of its birthplace. Get your cup ready for a full bodied, earthy, and rich flavorful coffee with a tangy finish that will make you roar with excitement.
