Learn about the history, flavors, and other aspects of this coffee from Indonesia.

The Dutch introduced Arabica coffee culture to Indonesia in the 17th century. Small plantations with a surface area of around 1 hectare are used to grow coffee. Today, the Arabica type is making a comeback with a range of cultivars, and coffee is maturing at various phases.

Sumatra is one of the most intriguing coffee-producing regions in Indonesia. Coffee processing centers have specialized in high-quality coffee production. Indonesia is made up of numerous small islands with a wide range of scenery and crops. The variety of terroir allows for the creation of a wide range of coffees with distinct qualities. In Sumatra, almost all farms are modest, ranging in size from 0.5 to 2.5 hectares. Coffee is the principal income crop, although farmers also plant vegetables, corn, and fruit in their trees.

Asman Arianto founded the Ribang Gayo Musara cooperative in 2018. He spent 21 years working in the selection and processing of washed commercial coffee. He was able to pay the cooperative members a second time thanks to the income from the 2019 harvest.
