Coffee treated with Sumatran Red Honey

Chinova village, north of Sumatra, Indonesia, Gayo mountain.

Chinova village, located in the mountains of Aceh province in the north of Sumatra, we started from Medan, all the way to the northwest direction, into Aceh province, we can see many mosques. The type of mosque is actually very diverse and artistic, but after all, it is a province with the integration of politics and religion, and there are still a lot of taboos for outsiders or non-believers. When you come to this area before the meeting, you should ask in advance, especially in the month of Ramadan.

To get to Chinova, you have to go through Takengon, the famous administrative center in the central mountains, which is also the distribution center of several surrounding coffee producing areas, and Takengon is located just west of the famous Laut Tawar Lake.

After the coffee cherries are ripe and ready for harvest, farmers will peel the harvested cherries on their own every day, then send them to the sun farm and deliver them, and some will hire people to peel them, or simply sell the coffee cherries. The practice in Chinova village is to directly assist farmers to deal with them on their own, and teach them how to take care of coffee trees and harvest, while working with the processing field to select and handle only quality coffee cherries.

In the end, what's the flavor of Chinova village? About seven years ago, an exporter launched water-washed beans from Chinova village in North America and registered the mountain name as his trademark. Many bakers thought that only water-washed beans were good beans in this area, but this was misleading. The excellent coffee in this area must be at high altitude and adopt the traditional semi-washing mode, and full water washing is still a minority.

In these Chinova villages, it is as if you are in an alpine coniferous forest, the air is fresh and clean, and even if you enter the shade, the smell will not be the smell of damp fallen leaves and rotten soil, which is different from the traditional Mantenin. In fact, it is the difference between the herbal low altitude flavor and the fresh and clean fragrance.

The taste of Gaiyou is fresh and sticky, reminiscent of Italian first-brewed olive oil. The middle section has a delicate sweet spice, with a sweet and sour feeling of plum in the end.
