Description
Coming from family-owned farms organized around the Asosiasi Kopi Gayo Organic cooperative (ASKOGO), located in the Bener Meriah regency, Aceh district, on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia.
This region of Indonesia is also referred to as the Gayo land because the coffee farmers are from the Gayonese ethnic group. On average, producers cultivate coffee on 2.5 acres of land using their own micro-mills to depulp, ferment, wash and partially dry the coffee in the parchment. The parchment is removed while the moisture is high through the wet-hulling process (called Giling Basah in Indonesian) and then the exposed bean is dried to a moisture percentage acceptable for export. This Indonesian processing method gives the bean its unique color and the hallmark Indonesian profile.
Tasting Notes: A very tasty Sumatra. A little bit thinner than some Indo coffees but good sweet tone upfront and nice clean classic chocolaty cup profile. A little spice in the aftertaste that will get accentuated into the darker roasts, along with a more smoky cup profile. A little dry earthy at the light roasts like most wet-hulled coffees. The cup comes together at a medium roast and will hold as dark of a roast as one can handle. Low acidity.
Roasting Notes: Wet-hulled coffees like this will roast a bit two toned. A nice easy and tasty roast for this bean is just touching 2nd crack. Will hold up a bit lighter than this as well as darker (avoid light roast points).
