Description

This coffee is produced by Mr. Hamdan, a believer of constant experimentation and innnovation, and in offering only the best coffees of Gayo. He was particularly interesed in a traditional but long abandoned post-harvest processing technique, the ‘Dry Ivory.’ This method requires washed coffee to be dried in shade under the zinc roofs without direct exposure to sunlight. This method was losing popularity due to its longer drying period hence, later pay day.

Through a modified version of Dry Ivory processing Mr. Hamdan helped gained recognition for Gayo coffees at a specialty coffee auction in Bali in 2010. With the help of his son, Mr. Hendra, he built a processing mill that now buys coffee cherries from fifty other fellow Gayo coffee farmers, subsequently growing the community as a whole.

Hendra Maulizar started working in the coffee industry in 2008 in Central Aceh by helping his parents manage the family plantation. In 2010, he started to focus on developing the post-harvest process, conducting experiments related to coffee processing as time passed, and these improvements continue to this day. Hendra said his proudest moment was when the Indonesian representative, Yoshua Tanu, brought the coffee he processed to the World Barista Championship 2017 in Seoul.

The processing of this coffee starts with harvesting the ripe red cherries. After sorting and cleaning the cherries, they are dried instantly with direct sunlight on raised beds for approximately 25-28 days. After drying, the coffee is stored for 14 days before being hulled.

This coffee has a red fruit spectrum that starts with a ripe red apple, followed by the candied sweetness of mixed berries candy, and a lingering aftertaste of oolong tea.
