Sumatra Mandheling Gayo Grade 1 Extra Fancy.
This unique coffee is grown on the volcanic Indonesian island of Sumatra. The best Arabica coffees of the island are produced in the Aceh Province around Lake Toba, at an elevation of 1,200- 1,600 masl. Gayo coffee is sourced in the Aceh region from several small villages around the Central Gayo regency. Farmers process the coffee cherries with what is known as the "Wet Hulling or "Giling Basah" method, whereby as soon as the cherries are harvested, they are de-pulped using rustic local machines. the beans are then stored in bags or tanks for dry fermentation overnight. The next morning, the farmers wash the remaining pulp from the beans, and then, after a quick drying to a 35 to 40% moisture content, the coffee is brought to a hulling station to be hulled. After hulling, the beans are then further dried to a 12% moisture content. This one-of-a-kind wet hulling process renders a very earthy and less acidic coffee.
An earthy, heavy body cup with a long, resonating finish. This coffee has a very low acidity, which is indicative of coffees throughout this region.

HOW TO BREW
ROASTED AT ALTITUDE
All our beans are roasted on-site in the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. At high altitude, the lower roasting temperatures allow the natural sugars in the coffee beans to caramelize slowly. This unique process creates deep, rich flavor profiles and smooth textures — without the bitterness.
RESPONSIBLY SOURCED
At VMCT, we take pride in fostering direct relationships with growers to ensure that every coffee bean and tea leaf we source is responsibly cultivated. We’re committed to ethical, organic, and sustainable practices, understanding that certification standards can vary across the globe. That’s why we go the extra mile to research and verify that our producers meet rigorous organic and bio-dynamic farming standards. For us, it’s not just about great coffee and tea — it’s about honoring the land and the people who bring it to life.
