The Producer Aulia Kahfi inherited Rakyat Farm from his family, who produced commodity grade coffee for its ease and reliability of income. In his teens he helped his family to cultivate this crop, and initially had no desire to work in coffee, instead working mining Vesuvianite a volcanic precious stone. Now in his thirties, Aulia has developed an interest in coffee, and with the farm under his stewardship, production has pivoted further towards a speciality grade crop. Aulia has expanded his enterprise somewhat, purchasing coffee from nearby, collecting it in his old van, farming and processing it. This has turned his business into a very small-scale cooperative by proxy. ‘Sesongot’ is the name of a beautiful caterpillar which is native to the Gayo region and can be seen living on the coffee trees in the area. Aulia named his more special, experimentally processed coffees after this because of the caterpillar’s unique appearance. Add to Favourites Add to Favourites
