Iwannitosa Putra is the owner of Putra Gayo, a mill and farm located in two subregions of Aceh, Sumatra. The farm spans 250 hectares and features approximately 275,000 Gayo coffee trees, including varieties 1, 2, and 3. In addition to coffee, the farm is home to numerous shade trees, such as Lamtoro, banana, orange, avocado, and jackfruit trees. Iwannitosa specializes in both washed and natural coffees, diverging from the common Sumatra wet-hulled method. Washed coffees are fermented for 10 to 12 hours and dried for about 10 days, while natural process coffees undergo dry fermentation for 10 to 12 hours and are then dried for 30 days.

Farm processes

Washed process

Machines are used to remove the flesh from the coffee cherry before being fermented in water, washed again, and finally sun dried. This process tends to result in more distinct, cleaner flavours.
