Sumatra Permata Gayo

Sumatra Permata Gayo

$20.00

A classic Sumatran, one of our favorites, this makes a full-bodied, low-acid cup of rustic coffee, exactly what you’d want on a camping trip or really anytime. Vienna roast. Notes of cedar, black licorice, and baker’s chocolate. RCNY writes: “the Permata Gayo Cooperative was formed in 2006 by 50 coffee farmers spread throughout five villages in the Permata sub-district of the Aceh province of Sumatra. The coop’s formation followed a peace accord that ended a decade-long civil war and a devastating earthquake that heavily damaged the farmers’ homes and warehouses […] all of the coop’s members are small-scale coffee farmers. Each grower processes their coffee to the pergamino stage and then transports the parchment to a central mill where it is hulled and sun dried on patios. This method of processing preserves the distinct characteristics of each farmer’s coffee while enabling them to benefit from the joint milling and drying facilities. Permata Gayo represents the farmers’ hope for a peaceful future, prosperity, and careful stewardship of the natural environment.” Varietals: Typica, Bourbon, Catimor, Caturra, grown at 1220 masl and wet-hulled.
