Japan has strict requirements for Indonesian coffee. As early as 2009, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare banned the import of Indonesian coffee beans due to pesticide residue exceeding standards, specifically Sevin. To this day, the Noda Coffee Japan team conducts rigorous pesticide testing, ensuring that each batch of coffee imported from Indonesia meets these standards. The successful procurement of this Indonesian Gayo Mandheling was made possible with the assistance of a "designated trader." For small farmers in Indonesia, trust in commercial transactions is vital. Our Japanese team, the designated trader, and the small farmers have maintained a relationship built on mutual respect and trust. While direct purchasing has become a key focus in the promotion of global coffee in recent years, it also presents challenges such as exploitation, deception, and instances of deposits without delivery. Through the efforts of the designated trader, we aim to improve the lives of small farmers. This trust-based relationship transcends mere commercial transactions. With this in mind, Noda Coffee recommends this Gayo Mandheling, which has an SCA rating of 84.25, allowing you to savor the heartfelt flavors of the small farmers' dedication—its bittersweet essence.
