The Gayo highlands possess a distinctive rich volcanic soil as well as perfect climate and altitude of between 1,500 to 1,800 meters above sea level.  This area borders the protected buffer zone to Gunung Leuser National Park, which contains critical watershed areas and sanctuaries for endangered species such as the Sumatran tiger. Our coffee farms in the Gayo Highlands maintain natural organic farming methods as a result of their unique altitude and micro-climate. These factors include; the rich volcanic soils, abundant rainfall, traditional growing method with companion farming of fruit trees and growing under nitrogen fixing shade trees. The surrounding highland rainforest diversity of flora and fauna also provides a natural buffer from the pests and diseases seen in the large coffee plantation monocultures.

Our coffee beans are processed via the wet hulling method that involves the following steps:

• Hand picking the ripe coffee cherries and sorting
• Pulping using traditional pulper to remove the cherry skin
• Allowing de-pulped beans to ferment for between 12 to 24 hours
• The beans are then washed and cleaned thoroughly to get rid of fermented mucilage
• The fresh and wet beans are then put in the sun to dry
• Hulling then removes the fiber skin from the green coffee beans
• Controlled drying to further lower the moisture level in the green beans
• Sorting then removes foreign objects, underdeveloped and defected beans followed by grading assortment to the various quality parameters before packing in 60kg hessian bags and distributed worldwide for roasting
• We also provide contract roasting according to your preferred roasting profile and grade
