About Gayo Long Berry Coffee

Hailing from the Gayo Highlands in the Aceh region of Sumatra, Indonesia, Gayo Long Berry Coffee owes its name to the elongated coffee cherries characteristic of this varietal. This region, with its unique microclimate and fertile volcanic soil, creates the perfect conditions for cultivating coffee of unparalleled quality. Local farmers, following traditional methods passed down through generations, tend to the coffee plants with meticulous care, ensuring the beans attain their full potential.

Cultivation and Harvesting

The journey of Gayo Long Berry Coffee begins with the careful selection of Arabica coffee plants, specifically the Gayo 1 variety, which has adapted over time to the region’s specific climate and altitude. The coffee trees flourish at elevations between 1,200 and 1,500 meters above sea level, allowing them to absorb the pure essence of the surrounding environment.

Farmers nurture the coffee plants, employing sustainable agricultural practices that emphasize organic cultivation and responsible land management. These environmentally conscious efforts not only yield exquisite coffee but also promote the preservation of the breathtaking landscapes of the Gayo Highlands.

During the harvesting season, which typically spans from June to December, skilled hands selectively handpick the ripest coffee cherries, ensuring only the finest fruits make it to the processing stage. This meticulous approach guarantees the highest quality beans, each brimming with the essence of the region’s fertile soils and pristine environment.

Processing and Drying

After harvest, the freshly picked coffee cherries undergo a traditional wet-hulling process, commonly known as “giling basah.” This unique method, exclusive to Indonesia, involves removing the skin and some of the pulp from the coffee beans while they are still moist. The beans are then sun-dried, allowing them to acquire their characteristic bluish-green color and moisture content ideal for further processing.

Upon reaching the desired moisture level, the beans undergo a final drying phase to stabilize their humidity and preserve their distinctive attributes. This intricate process imbues the Gayo Long Berry Coffee with its renowned earthy, herbaceous, and fruity flavor notes.

The moment you take your first sip of Gayo Long Berry Coffee, you are greeted by a harmonious melody of flavors that dance on your taste buds. Rich and full-bodied, this coffee delights with its well-balanced acidity and a velvety mouthfeel. Notes of dark chocolate and caramel complement its fruity undertones, reminiscent of ripe berries and citrus zest.

One of the highlights of Gayo Long Berry Coffee is its lingering finish, leaving behind a pleasant aftertaste that lingers on the palate, inviting you to savor each sip.
