IN THE CUP
We're excited to introduce a truly special coffee that holds a personal connection to Vacation Coffee. Our very own Co-Founder, Jimmy Tjoeng, who hails from Indonesia and is a passionate coffee enthusiast has always dreamed of seeing Indonesian coffee achieve global recognition for its exceptional quality.
This particular coffee truly embodies that vision. When brewed as a filter, it offers a remarkably refreshing taste, brimming with the essence of tropical fruits, especially passionfruit, with a subtle hint reminiscent of white rum. As an espresso, it transforms into a delightfully sweet and jammy experience, where you can savor notes of rich passionfruit syrup and rum. We think you'll find this coffee to be something truly special.
STORY BEHIND THE CUP
Putra Gayo, owned by Iwannitosa Putra, operates a mill and farm that supports two subregions in Aceh, Sumatra. Their 250-hectare farm is home to approximately 275,000 coffee trees. To provide shade, they also cultivate a diverse range of trees such as lamtoro, banana, orange, avocado, and jackfruit.
Interestingly, Iwannitosa specialises in both washed and natural coffee processing methods, a departure from the more common Sumatra wet-hulled process. Their washed coffees undergo a 10-12 hour fermentation period followed by about 10 days of drying. For their natural process coffees, they employ a 10-12 hour dry fermentation before a 30-day drying period.
