The Dutch brought coffee to Indonesia from Yirgacheffe in the 17th century. Gayo Mountain coffee is grown in the Aceh province at the most northern point of Sumatra in the volcanic soil of the mountain basin around lake Tawar. Gayo Mountain coffee has been shade grown and processed meticulously then roasted medium-dark resulting in a sweet rounded flavour, rich velvety body with notes of chocolate.
The Gayo Mountain plantation tries to maintain a stable environment for its workers with increased salaries and social and healthcare initiatives.

Grown without pesticides or fertilisers
