Single Origin Coffee Beans - Indonesia Sumatra Bener Meeriah

Cultivated in the rugged, volcanic highlands of Bener Meriah, this season’s single-origin selection comes from the celebrated Gayo Antara Cooperative. At altitudes of 1,500 meters, these Arabica cherries mature slowly amidst cool, misty mornings and nutrient-dense volcanic soil. Founded in 2015, the KSU Gayo Antara Cooperative represents a dedicated community of over 865 smallholder farmers. Spanning nearly 1,000 hectares of the Bener Meriah district, every member is a Certified Organic and Fairtrade producer. To navigate the humid microclimate of the Gayo Highlands, the cooperative utilizes the traditional Indonesian "Giling Basah" (wet-hulling) method. Cherries are selectively hand-harvested and pulped, then partially dried until they reach a specific moisture content of 30-40%. This Sumatra coffee greets you with a full, syrupy body and a sophisticated, layered sweetness that reveals itself as the coffee cools. Expect an indulgent palette of warm vanilla, sun-ripened prune, rich molasses and dates. The experience concludes with a long, velvety dark chocolate finish. It’s a comforting, complex coffee that showcases both the quality of the region and the dedication of the farmers behind it.
