The coffee growing process in this area is a traditional one as part of the traditional Gayo tribe’s society with strong culture to maintain the heritage. Coffee trees, along with cocoa, chili, and orange live well in the area, as well as livestock whose droppage is used as fertilizer for the trees. In addition to the droppage, coffee parchment skin is also used as fertilizer. This is fairly much the typical or sort of unwritten standard, which can be seen at almost every family’s backyard within the region with manual pulley ground water well as water source. Some of these farmers are organically certified, however chemical fertilizer is unknown to most farmers there, so the process we go through and substances we use are all natural. These collectors and groups of farmers sell to the Organic certified coops and exporters whenever we don’t have the cash to buy or whenever our bidding price is lower than those of coops and exporters. The OrangUtan would be a very impressive light-roasted of the typical Sumatra profile. These beans are directly full sun dried and packed by the farmers and our teams there. – Ric Hariyanto, Sriwijaya Coffee |
