Unlock the authentic and bold profile of Sumatran coffee with our Specialty Arabica Gayo Green Beans. Sourced from the legendary Gayo Highlands (Aceh Tengah & Bener Meriah), these beans are grown at an altitude of 1200–1700 masl. The combination of high-altitude volcanic soil and the traditional wet-hulled method results in a dense bean with the signature intensity that Gayo coffee is famous for.
Processed using the Semiwash (Wet Hulled) method, this specialty green coffee embodies the classic Indonesian profile: a syrupy mouthfeel and low acidity. The Ateng Super and Bourbon varietals, maintained at a stable moisture content of 12–14%, offer roasters a robust and versatile foundation for creating a powerful espresso base or a bold, traditional manual brew.
