A word on Sumatra coffee
Out of the thousands of islands that shape the Indonesian archipelago, only a few have the right conditions to grow coffee, and one of them is Sumatra. One particular feature of Sumatra coffee is the processing, which has a direct impact on the characteristics of the bean. Most of these coffees undergo what is called a semi-washed process or Giling Basah in Bahasa Indonesia language. Another common term in the Sumatran preparation is Double Picking (DP) which means that beans are hand-picked twice for defects so as to obtain an exportable product with maximum 11 defects.
KSU Buana Mandiri ​
This coffee is produced by small farmers pertaining to this cooperative grouping 1,009 families, each owning less than 1 ha of land.  Pulp is the main source for fertilizer and animals are fed with tree leaves that also serve as shade for coffee trees. During the coffee off-season, farmers grow other farm products such as chili and yam to support their families.

Region
Coffee farms are located in the subdistrict of Bener Meriah, in the province of Aceh, home of Gayonese people.
