Introduction of Jiayu Gayo Coffee producing area

Located in the northernmost part of Sumatra, the Aceh Special Administrative region grows coffee around Lake Lake Tawar on the hillside of Ka Yau and in the small town of Takengon, where coffee is widely grown under shade and without pesticides at all.

Coffee farms and cooperatives are very rare in Sumatra, but they are mainly small farmers with an average planting area of about one to two hectares. Coffee crops are a very important source of income for them. After coffee cherries are processed to the state of shell beans, they can be sold to middlemen in the local market for cash.

In the early years, Aceh's economy stagnated due to tsunami and ethnic conflict, which is not as well-known as the Lindong producing area of Lake Toba, but in recent years, Aceh's coffee is no longer as difficult as it used to be.

The wet peeling method in Aceh is slightly different from that in the Lindong producing area, where the farmers remove the peel of the coffee and directly place it in the sink to soak and wash, while the Lindong producing area will leave it until the next day and then wash it with clean water. therefore, the coffee beans in Lindong will remain a little pectin, and the drying time is longer than that in Aceh, and the slight differences in treatment create different flavor characteristics of the producing areas.
