ABOUT THE ORIGIN AND GROWERS

Get ready for an explosion of boozy, blueberry fruits as soon as you open a bag of Sumatra Putra Gayo coffee. This spectacular special release coffee has intense layers of jammy blue fruits, sticky sweet liqueur delivering an exceptional flavour profile.

If you love a short or long black coffee with big boozy, rich fruity notes give this stand-out coffee a try. Milk coffee drinkers can enjoy flavours akin to a buttery, blueberry muffin in all types of milk varieties.

Producer, Iwannitosa Putra is the owner of Putra Gayo, a mill and farm serving two subregions within Aceh, Sumatra. Their farm covers 250 hectares of land with around 275,000 coffee trees. Amongst the coffee, many shade trees are grown like Lamtoro, Banana, Orange, Avocado, and Jackfruit trees. Iwannitosa specialises in both washed and natural coffees, as opposed to the common Sumatra wet-hulled. The Natural process coffees dry ferment for 10-12 hours, and then dry for 30 days.

Aceh, in northern Sumatra, is an incredible region for coffee production. The average farm is one hectare, 80% of producers within northern Sumatra are women, and 95% of producers are smallholders. The region is diverse, geographically speaking. It is surrounded by beaches with a swampy inland, and the Barisan Mountains make up the inner two-thirds of the area. Coffee is grown on this volcanic mountain amongst the rainforest. One of the notable features of this area is Lake Taboa, the largest volcanic lake in the world.
