Often coffee farmers have to go back to the same tree many times to pick up the mature coffee cherries. To remember, there are still many coffee farmers who are only paid according to the cherries they picked. When I picked up the coffee I saw a bird's nest in coffee trees.

Takengon, whose majority population is Gayo tribe, is the capital of Central Aceh district located in the Gayo Highlands, about 1,200 mdpl.Location is hilly and there is Lake Laut Tawar in the middle. With this geographical condition, Takengon becomes a haven for coffee lovers, where coffee plantations blanket this area.Yes, Takengon is the home of Gayo Arabica coffee.It is the little heaven to me.

In fact, on the first day in Takengon I had the opportunity to visit the coffee plantation while enjoying the view of the lake from altitude. I also visited the coffee factory owned by H. Rashid where I saw the process of choosing coffee beans by Takengon women also roasting Arabica Gayo coffee beans that turned out also exported because it already has a specialty certificate.Pak Haji also served coffee freshly brewed that afternoon.One big jug, for free! Until drunk coffee deh, guaranteed.Before leaving the factory, of course I was shopping coffee..

Up to the Roast of the Rooter's Hand

Up here the coffee rice will be roasted on a small scale and a cupping or tasting session to determine the exact roasting profile for the coffee.

It is important to note: two canard interpreters can interpret one type of coffee rice differently. So, do not be surprised if the taste of coffee in each place can be different even come from the plantation, harvest time, and the same post-harvest process.
