The story

In Indonesian, Manis Madu means 'honey sweetness'. This name evokes a comforting coffee, processed using a classic method that seeks to preserve the natural sweetness provided by the mucilage.

Produced in Kenawat, in the Gayo terroir, northern Sumatra, this lot combines the varietals Typica, Catimor, and Timor Hybrid. It comes from Fahman Yoga's farm as well as neighboring producers, whose coffee trees grow in agroforestry under the shade of several tree species.

This coffee is processed using a Honey method. After harvesting and cleaning the ripe cherries, they are pulped without removing the thick layer of mucilage that still surrounds the bean. The coffee is immediately put to dry, first in a thicker layer to facilitate fermentation, then in progressively thinner layers as its moisture decreases. The parchment coffee is dried until it reaches a Moisture Content of 10 to 12%, before being hulled and sorted.

This lot is offered by Adena and locally supported by Fahman Yoga, a native of Kenawat. After nearly three decades of conflict, many farms had been abandoned, and the village remained outside of purchasing circuits for a long time. By collecting and processing coffees alongside local producers, Adena and Fahman are helping to restore value to this origin and create new economic opportunities for the community.

Fahman Yoga is a former footballer from Sumatra, Indonesia. After his sporting career, he returned to his native village, Kanawat, in the Gayo region of Sumatra. A village that had long been marred by armed conflicts over independence in the north of the island. His aim in taking over the family farm was to add value to the coffees from this region of Indonesia. To this end, he produces his own coffee and also collects that of neighboring producers.

In association with Adena Café, Fahman Yoga works on many innovative coffees, with no added yeast, which we are proud to offer you for the first time this year (2024). With Adena Coffee, they were the first, in 2023, to win the Indonesian Cup of Excellence with a wet hulled process coffee, adapted to the extreme humidity of this part of the world.
