Koperasi Gayo Megah Berseri

Aceh (Gayo)

Verified· 86.5

Origin story

High in the Gayo highlands of Aceh, more than 400 smallholder families pool their harvests through Megah Berseri. Volcanic soil and the region's distinctive wet-hulled (giling basah) tradition give the cup its heavy body, cedar and savoury-herb depth. In recent seasons the cooperative has added carefully controlled anaerobic lots to showcase what Gayo can do with cleaner, more modern processing.
