The Ribang Gayo Musara Cooperative was established as a result of the dedication and commitment of the coffee farming community in the Gayo highland area, particularly in Pantan Musara Village, Pegasing District, Central Aceh Regency, and its surrounding regions.
Driven by the vision of progress and a desire to improve their organizational capabilities and economic prosperity, the cooperative was brought to life. The inception of this cooperative can be traced back to the innovative ideas and insights of the people of Pantan Musara Village, spearheaded by Asman Arianto.
As an entrepreneur in the specialty coffee business and a small-scale coffee bean processor, Asman promoted the popularity of Specialty Coffee Processing in the region, inspiring the establishment of the cooperative.
Today, the Ribang Gayo Musara Cooperative proudly stands with 692 male farmers and 208 female farmers, united in their passion for coffee farming and determined to create a more prosperous future for themselves and their community.
This lot of coffee undergoes a meticulous processing method where ripe coffee cherries are carefully laid out to dry with their fruit pulp still intact under the sun, allowing the beans to absorb flavors from the surrounding fruit. This natural process results in a distinctive flavor profile characterized by rich, fruity notes and a hint of sweetness, making it a unique and sought-after coffee.
By joining forces and fostering cooperation, the cooperative aims to advance its practices and collectively contribute to the development and growth of the coffee industry in the area. Their shared commitment to producing exceptional coffee and embracing sustainable practices sets them on a path toward success and recognition in the world of specialty coffee.
