Aceh Gayo Natural, Indonesia
A great example of a natural processed Indonesian coffee with layered spiced aromatics, vibrant fruit acidity, and a smooth medium body.
We rarely source coffees from Sumatra, where the traditional wet-hulled process tends to create earthy, savoury, and herbaceous profiles. This method, designed for high-humidity conditions, accelerates drying by removing parchment while beans are still moist—essential in a climate where slow, even drying is challenging. However, in the highlands of Aceh, the Asman Gayo Mill is reimagining Sumatran coffee through natural processing. By drying whole cherries slowly, they’ve produced a coffee that is clean, complex, fruity, and sweet—qualities we value at Colonna.
