High in the misty mountains of Central Aceh, the Gayo Highlands are home to one of Indonesia’s most celebrated Arabica origins. With elevations ranging from 1,200 to 1,600 meters above sea level, this region offers a cool climate, rich volcanic soil, and a long-standing tradition of organic coffee farming. The Gayo people, known for their deep connection to the land, cultivate coffee with care and precision—resulting in beans that consistently meet specialty-grade standards.
Gayo Arabica is renowned for its full body, herbal complexity, and sweet finish. The cup opens with vibrant herbal notes—think lemongrass, basil, and dried spices—balanced by a velvety mouthfeel and a lingering sweetness reminiscent of palm sugar or dried fruit. This distinctive profile makes it highly sought after in the Middle-Up and Specialty market segments, including third-wave roasters, premium cafés, and single-origin product lines.
Graded as Grade 1, Gayo Arabica meets the highest standards for bean uniformity, moisture content, and cup clarity. The beans are processed using the full-washed method, which enhances their brightness and flavor definition. Buyers may request alternative post-harvest methods—such as honey or natural—to further customize the flavor profile.
Gayo farmers are deeply committed to sustainable and traceable practices. Many cooperatives in the region are certified organic and Fair Trade, offering transparency and ethical sourcing for international buyers. Their meticulous approach to cultivation and processing ensures consistency across harvests.
