More on this coffee from our green vendort Café Imports:

“This coffee comes from a small mill in the Pegasing district of Takengon, in Sumatra's coffee-famous Aceh region. The Asman Gayo mill serves several small coffee producers within the Pantan Musara villages. Several years ago, these producers were dislocated from their homes and land because of a natural disaster, and they have rebuilt their lives and farms with a new focus on coffee.”

The Asman Gayo Mill (previously called the Pantan Musara mill after the villages it was surrounded by) has invested in quality improvement programs this coffee is an example of what can be produced thinking outside the box. This is a washed process coffee versus the more traditional wet-hulled coffees that Sumatra is known for. Getting a washed process coffee out of Sumatra is unusual and the clean cup that this Indo coffee produces is surprising from an area known for murky, floor of the forest and peat/tobacco notes typically present in Sumatran coffees.
