Indonesia Sumatra Gayo Natural

Indonesia Aceh Gayo Natural Sun-Dried Wine Flavor

Flavor Description:

Mango, rum, longan peel, light herbal aroma, rich acidity changes, sweet and thick texture combined.

Although Sumatra island is large, not the entire island produces coffee. Large-scale coffee tree cultivation is only found in the two northernmost provinces among the island's eight provinces: Aceh Province and North Sumatra Province. Aceh coffee is mainly produced around Lake Tawar in the Gayo Mountain region, where farmers are mostly local Gayo People indigenous residents; while North Sumatra Province coffee is primarily produced in the Sidikalang region on the west side of Lake Toba (the world's largest super caldera lake) and the Lintong region on the south side, where local farmers are mostly composed of Batak People indigenous residents.

Sumatra coffee's production system is unique: there are very few large coffee estates on the island. Instead, there are tens of thousands of small farmers. These small farmers not only grow and harvest coffee themselves, but each household also removes coffee seeds with pulp from berries and sun-dries them. However, when the green beans are not yet completely dry, the seed shells are removed... and then collected by small, medium, and large purchasers and dried in stages before being transferred to exporters. Sometimes when they reach exporters, they even need to be sun-dried again until moisture content meets standards before entering the bean sorting room for manual removal of defective beans and impurities, followed by screen grading and packaging for export.

This unique semi-washed processing method is locally called Giling Basah, also known as wet-hulled. This system allows coffee beans to dry at a very slow rate, thus producing the characteristic Sumatra rich texture; although subsequent extensive manual labor is required for defect removal, the resulting thick style is unique in the world!

Knowledge Expansion: The Dutch began planting coffee here in the mid-19th century. The region's coffee industry emerged and became known to the world in the 1970s, entering a golden period of rapid development in the 1990s. Currently, specialty coffee from the Toraja region is mainly exported to Japan.
