Coffee Background

This coffee is a regional blend of smallholder farmers from the regency of Bener Meriah, which surrounds Lake Tawar’s northern shore and is one of Aceh’s most prolific producing region. The composition of the coffee, quality, and milling and exporting all are managed by PT Indokom Citra Persada, an export group that works throughout Indonesia’s coffee origins but who has a dedicated mill and operations team in Aceh. Bener Meriah regency contains Burni Telong, an active volcano with an altitude of 2624 meters which is not only a focal point of the region for its looming presence, but also a major influence on the gifted terroir of this part of Sumatra. Since the coffee is sourced from around the base of the volcano and its area of influence, the exporters decided to name it in the volcano’s honor.
