A Taste of Tradition and Community Support
Indonesian coffee, specifically from the Aceh Province in North Sumatra, offers consumers a unique blend of tradition, quality, and community support. Sourced from the Asman Arianto/Ribang Gayo Musara Cooperative, this coffee represents the collaborative efforts of Asman Arianto and over 350 farmers in the Pegasing Sub-district, Pantan Musara Village. The coffee varieties, including Abyssinia, Ateng, Gayo 1, Gayo 2, and Timtim, are cultivated at altitudes ranging from 1,500 to 1,700 meters above sea level, contributing to the rich and distinct flavor profiles cherished by coffee enthusiasts.
The coffee beans undergo a natural processing method, enhancing their flavors and aromas, and are packed in 60kg GrainPro bags, ensuring freshness and quality preservation. The farm sizes range from 0.5 to 2.5 hectares on average, reflecting the smallholder nature of coffee farming in the region. Despite the challenges, Asman Arianto's vision of offering competitive prices through the cooperative allows farmers to reinvest in their farms and families, fostering sustainable livelihoods and community development.
Furthermore, every purchase of this Indonesian coffee supports the Farmgate Initiative project, demonstrating a commitment to social responsibility and empowering coffee-producing communities. Harvested primarily from April to June as the main crop, with additional harvest periods throughout the year, this coffee embodies the rich cultural heritage and dedication of Indonesian coffee farmers. From the lush landscapes of Aceh Province to the cooperative efforts of Asman Arianto and his fellow farmers, each cup of Indonesian coffee tells a story of tradition, resilience, and community empowerment.
