Green Bean l Gayo Natural 1kg

This coffee comes from the same farm as our Gayo Full Wash: Arul Badak, Central Aceh, at an altitude of 1,450–1,600 meters above sea level, featuring the Ateng Super variety. Only one thing changes: what happens after the coffee cherries are harvested.

With the Natural process, the fruit is not removed. The whole cherries are dried with the beans still inside, and over several weeks, the sugars and fruity aromas have time to develop and influence the beans.

The flavor profile shifts noticeably: from cocoa nibs and orange peel in the Full Wash version to chocolate, jackfruit, and tartaric acidity in this lot. Natural processing is also more challenging because whole cherries can easily develop unwanted flavors if drying is not carefully managed. That is why the defect count is documented in the quality control report accompanying your lot.

For roasters who want to understand the effect of processing without changing the origin, these Gayo green beans make an ideal side-by-side comparison.

POTENTIAL NOTES

Chocolate | Jackfruit | Tartaric Acidity

We write potential notes, not tasting notes. This is green coffee, not roasted coffee. What ultimately ends up in the cup depends on your roasting profile. We simply provide a starting point.

EVERY LOT GOES THROUGH QUALITY CONTROL

Origin, grade, processing method, moisture content, density, and defect count. We inspect, store, and record every lot.

Coffee is not magic. Coffee is a process, and processes can be tested.

TRIPLE PICK QUALITY ASSURANCE

Why Is Our Green Bean More Reliably Sorted?

Most marketplace sellers claim Grade 1 quality based on just one round of coarse machine sorting. At Coffest Roastery, we apply three stages of physical purification:

1 // Suton Machine

Filters out foreign objects such as stones, twigs, dust, broken beans, and silverskin that may have passed through from earlier processing stages.

2 // Optical Sorting Machine (SORTEX)

Uses modern optical sensor technology to eject black beans, sour beans, and beans damaged by insect bites.

3 // Hand Sorting (Manual Picking)

Our expert team performs the final manual inspection to remove fungus-damaged beans and ensure that defects are reduced to nearly zero.

The drying process uses indirect sunlight through a greenhouse system to help preserve the coffee’s optimal flavor characteristics.
