Description: In Tlogosari Village, there's a social non-profit cooperative set up by the villagers for the community's well-being. The cooperative is called "Walida Cooperative," led by Ahmad Muhlisin. And 20% of the profit from the coffee sales goes directly to the social non-profit cooperative, which runs a local K-12 school that educates the villagers. And a small percentage goes to the government for letting the villagers grow coffee there.

Ahmad's coffee is grown at around 1,200 - 1,600 m.a.s.l in the footsteps of Mount Argopuro, in Situbondo Regency, East Java Province of Java Island. He focuses on natural-processed coffee because water supply is scarce in his area, and the government has not been active in helping build irrigation/water supply systems there.

Cherries are carefully picked, cleaned, and sorted to process this coffee, They are fermented in anaerobic tanks, then sun-dried, hulled, and sorted to be prepared and packed before being exported.
