Deep-rooted tradition defines coffee production in Aceh, a region renowned for its exceptional cup quality and classic Indonesian coffee-growing heritage. Coffee is cultivated on small family farms averaging less than three acres, where the Gayonese people have passed down generations of farming knowledge. Their distinctive village culture—even homes built in the shape of ships—reflects a rich heritage, while coffee remains the primary source of income for many families. Today, nearly 70% of the region's coffee producers are women.

This coffee is sourced through CV. Gayo Mandiri, a family-owned exporter based in Bener Meriah in the Gayo Highlands of northern Sumatra. Working closely with local cooperatives, Gayo Mandiri operates a central dry mill and builds long-term, relationship-driven partnerships with both farmers and buyers. In a region where coffee origins can often be difficult to trace, their locally integrated supply chain provides exceptional transparency and consistency. Beyond sourcing outstanding coffee, Gayo Mandiri invests in their community by providing farming tools, cash dividends to cooperative members, and improved drying infrastructure that helps protect coffee quality and reduce post-harvest losses.
