A perfect choice for those who enjoy rich, sweet, chocolate-forward, and fruit-driven coffees.

Coffee Origin: Gayo Highlands

This coffee comes from the Bener Meriah region in the Gayo Highlands of Aceh, Indonesia. The area is renowned for its fertile volcanic soils and long-standing Arabica coffee-growing traditions. Coffee cherries are hand-picked and processed using the traditional Indonesian Wet Hulled method, which contributes to a heavy body, low acidity, and a lingering sweet finish.

This lot works beautifully in a Moka Pot, espresso machine, cezve (Turkish coffee), French press, or simply brewed directly in a cup. Thanks to its balanced structure and low acidity, it remains consistent and enjoyable across a wide range of brewing recipes and grind settings.
