Coffee Facts

The Asman Gayo mill is located in the Aceh region of North Sumatra, a region suitable for coffee production due to its diverse geography, including volcanic mountains. This mill serves several small producers in the villages of Pantan Musara, who restarted their coffee activity after a natural disaster. Unlike most coffee processing centers in Sumatra, the mill produces coffee in washed and natural processes, in addition to the wet stripping process (Giling Basah), typical of the island.

The latter, introduced in the 1970s, gives Sumatran coffee its unique characteristics: earthy and herbaceous flavors. Coffee in Sumatra is often harvested, pulped by hand, then quickly dried before being purchased at a high humidity level. Microlots are generally traceable to the mill, and rarely to the producer. Washed coffees are rare due to the humid climate, but when produced they undergo a centralized fermentation and washing process. This particular offering is probably made up of the most common coffee varieties in Sumatra, such as Ateng, Bor Bor, Catimor and Timor hybrids.
