Sourced from the Pegasing district of Takengon in Sumatra’s renowned Aceh region, this washed coffee from Asman Gayo is truly unique. Unlike most Sumatran coffees, which undergo wet-hulling, this lot is fully washed—an uncommon practice in the region due to the humid climate. The result is a coffee with remarkable clarity, a medium body, and a sweet, gentle finish.

Our coffee comes from a small mill in the Pegasing district of Takengon that can be found in the coffee-famous region of Aceh on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
Aceh, situated in Northern Sumatra, stands out as an exceptional region for coffee production, with 95% of coffee producers here being small-scale farmers. The area boasts great diversity, primarily characterized by the Barisan Mountains. Coffee thrives on the slopes of these volcanic mountains, surrounded by lush rainforests and nourished by soil perfectly suited for coffee cultivation.
The Asman Gayo mill plays a vital role in supporting numerous small coffee producers from the Pantan Murasa villages. These producers faced displacement from their homes and lands due to a natural disaster some years ago, but they have since shown remarkable resilience, rebuilding their lives and farms with a newfound emphasis on coffee cultivation. Sumatra’s typically humid climate and frequent cloud cover create an environment where washed coffees are rarely processed. What sets the Asman Gayo mill apart from other coffee processing centers in Sumatra is its production of both naturally processed and washed coffees
The coffee is sweet and balanced, with hazelnut and malt notes in the body with a black tea-like finish.
