Sumatra Takengon Natural
Watermelon • Raspberry • Dark Chocolate
Meet the Cup
Lush summer fruit up front—watermelon and raspberry—melting into a deep dark-chocolate finish. Juicy, velvety, and surprisingly clean for a Sumatran natural.
Why It Hits Different
Elevation Edge (1,400 masl)
Cool mountain air in Central Aceh slows cherry maturation, concentrating sweetness and rounding the acidity.
Natural Process
Whole cherries are sun-dried to amplify red-fruit aromatics and build a syrupy body—an expressive counterpoint to the island’s classic profiles.
Co-op Roots
Sourced from Meukat Komuditi Gayo, a cooperative founded in 2017 and now representing ~450 smallholder farmers (plots as small as ½ hectare) across the slopes around Takengon—uniting quality focus with farmer welfare.
Sense of Place
Gayo highland terroir delivers that unmistakable cacao depth beneath bright, refreshing fruit—Sumatra, reimagined.
Brew Guide
Start at 1:16 ratio, 205 °F (96 °C) water. Expect punchy fruit and plush texture in pour-over; espresso leans raspberry-cacao with a long, sweet finish.
