ONE OF THE MOST WORLD-KNOWN UNIQUE COFFEE
Gayo Arabica Coffee is a type of unique coffee from the highest-ground of Gayo, Central Aceh, Indonesia. This coffee has strong thickness and unique aroma.

Another reason why this coffee is known globally is because of the high standard of production, processing, and presentation.
There are three areas that become the center of Gayo arabica coffee plantation. There are Central Aceh District (about 39 hectares) and Bener Meriah and Gayo Lues (around 42 hectares). Those areas have volcanic soil conditions, a type of soil that has high nutrients. Therefore, the coffee has a savory taste, a strong level of consistency, and a fragrant aroma.

Almost all people in the Gayo highlands, including those who are not farmers, also have a coffee plantation. Although, the plantation not as large as coffee farmers. Owning a coffee plantation seems to be an obligation for them, except for migrants. This makes the coffee Gayo Arabica into common identity in the Central Highlands, Central Aceh.
