Gayo 2026 harvest: what the rain did to the cup
Late rain pushed picking two weeks back and lifted acidity across the plateau. What that means for wine lots this season.

01 — The company
A sourcing operation built around consistency, not volume claims.
We work directly with farmer groups across Sumatra, Java, Bali, Sulawesi, and Flores. Cherry is bought at the washing station, processed under our own supervision, and rested before grading, so every lot we quote is a lot we have handled ourselves.
Buyers receive a pre-shipment sample, a written specification, and the full export document set. On a repeat order we match the profile against the retained sample rather than the description, which is how the cup stays the same from one container to the next.
Own supervision
Post-harvest handled at stations we control, not bought as finished green.
Retained samples
Every shipped lot is archived so repeat orders match the cup, not the copy.
Fixed specification
Moisture, screen, and defect written into the contract before loading.
02 — Origins
Six growing regions, each with a settled profile.
Select an origin for elevation, varieties, processing available, and the formats it ships in. Volumes are booked against harvest, so availability is confirmed by contract.

07 — Buyers
What roasters and importers say.
The fermentation log is what closed it for us. We could explain the cup to our own customers without guessing.
Three containers in, the profile has not moved. That consistency is rare at this grade from Indonesia.
Samples arrived in a week with the score sheet already filled in. It saved us a full cupping round.
