Gayo Land say says, Uet nome turah kona kupi gayo. Kegere ngupi gere muke emikiren te.

A friend from Gayo Land means, after waking up we have to drink gayo coffee. With coffee the thought becomes open.

Yes, this story begins on the high ground of Gayo Land, Central Aceh. Spread coffee plantations with Arabica variants, at an altitude of 1,200 meters above sea level.

Coffee is born with a savory taste, a strong level of viscosity and comes with this fragrant aroma, is now successfully schooled to go international.

Gayo is registered on January 26, 2016. After the publication period, Gayo Coffee is finally listed as Indonesia's first geographical indication (IG) product protected by the European Union on May 23, 2017.

Long before, actually the name Gayo is flashy. Gayo Coffee received Fair Trade Certified from the International Trade Fair on May 27, 2010. In the same year, the International Conference on Coffee Science, nominated Gayo Highland coffee as The Best No. 1.

Tanamera Coffee, one of the growing coffee shops in Jakarta, said Gayo Coffee quality is strongly influenced by Gayo highland natural conditions.

Born from the condition of volcanic soil, soil types that have high nutrients, such as in Lukup Sabun, Bandar Lampahan, Simpang Balik, Bener Meriah Regency, making this coffee is targeted by upstream and downstream coffee companies.

In its website, tanameracoffee.com, mentioned the smell and taste characteristics of Gayo coffee will bring the audience to touch the typical sensory experience of floral notes such as black tea or spicy notes such as ginger, cloves and other sensations accordingly with each individual enjoying it.

For the government of Gayo Coffee fame, not just a home terrace decoration. As the top five largest coffee producers in the world, of course the calculations of foreign exchange into potential that should not be ignored.

Director of Trademark and Geographical Indication DJKI Fathlurachman said that with the recognition of IG Indonesia's products in Europe, it is also expected to improve the image of Indonesian coffee in the eyes of the world.

"We do not want Gayo Coffee alone which penetrates the International market. Other geographical indications should follow immediately, "he said.

Government efforts to improve the image of IG strategic products of the country, is expected to not just fill it by presenting it in international exhibitions.

However, it also makes it truly Indonesian, and should be protected. Concerns about the number of products that other countries claimed Nusantara, certainly do not want to happen again.
