Gayo Coffee grown in tropical climates of Central Aceh - Bener Meriah is a plant that dominates Central Aceh district - Bener Meriah since last year. The majority Gayo people work as coffee farmers with coffee farietas consisting of Arabica Coffee and Robusta Coffee, but more dominated by Arabica coffee type about 90%. Gayo area which is located at an altitude of 1200 Mdpl makes the gayo area cooler than other areas in Aceh province, so the gayo area is often dubbed the cold city. The height supported by soil fertility in the gayo area makes the gayo coffee taste very different from the coffee plants in other regions in Indonesia.
