History of Aceh Gayo Green Coffee Beans

The root of all coffee in the world originated from Africa. When it came to Indonesia, the coffee tree was brought by a Dutch governor to Batavia (right now Jakarta) through Yemen. Then, they began cultivating coffee trees in Java and Sumatra islands, creating large coffee plantations, which started the history of Aceh Gayo coffee.

Historical records show the first Aceh coffee plantation existed in 1904. Urged by the Dutch colonialists, the locals started to plant coffee trees in Tanah Gayo. Since coffee was the most sought commodity on the international market then, farmers chose to seriously cultivate coffee trees rather than tea or pepper.

Growing Coffee in Aceh

Bener Meriah and Central Aceh have become the largest areas producing Aceh Gayo green coffee beans: The two regions are located at a high altitude of 1200 meters above sea level and cover approximately 81,000 hectares of community-built coffee plantations.

The highland of both areas is the appropriate environment to plant coffee trees due to the low air temperature and lush soil. The farmers cultivated this coffee organically, making it environmentally friendly. Gayo coffee was named after the native Gayo tribe living in the area.

Gayo coffee generally has low acidity and bitterness with a clean aftertaste. The aroma hints at spices while the flavor varies, such as nutty, spice, caramel, dark chocolate, and others. This taste note makes Gayo coffee popular for making house blend coffee.
