Sumatra Coffee Gayo Beans

The Sumatra Coffee Gayo Beans are processed in a fascinating way. Less known than the Lintong and Mandheling variety, the beans from the Sumatra Gayo Mountain, or the Aceh area is a rarer kind of crop. These coffee beans are grown in a small mountain valley surrounding Lake Tawar and the town of Takengon. Grown in the shade and without the addition of any chemicals, beans used here vary widely and as a result, have distinct flavors. Some beans are processed by small farmers who use the traditional Sumatran method of washing them in the backyard, while others have different unique methods. Lintong has a deep, complex flavor with a lot of smokiness, and Sumatra Coffee Gayo has a heavy, almost syrupy body with an intense earthiness. The coffee brewed from these Sumatra Coffee Gayo beans resembles the Lintong and Mandheling coffees and is often sold by Medan exporters in Indonesia.
