About This Coffee

The Asman Gayo Mill is located in the Pegasing district of Takengon, in the highlands of Aceh, northern Sumatra, Indonesia. Sourced from small producers in the Pantan Musara villages, farms sit in the high volcanic terrain of the Barisan Mountains. This is a washed coffee — uncommon for the region — with cherries depulped, fermented up to 36 hours in open tanks, then dried on raised beds, parabolic dryers, or tarpaulins. Composed of Ateng, Bor Bor, Catimor, and Timor varieties. Flavor notes: baked apple, praline, dried lime, and purple grape. Roasted for espresso.

Five Elephant Coffee Roastery

Kris and Sophie Schackman founded Five Elephant in December 2010, opening their original cafe at Reichenberger Strasse 101 in Berlin Kreuzberg while establishing a separate roasting facility on Glogauer Strasse. Head roaster Wojtek Białczak, who placed fifth at the 2019 World Barista Championship in Boston representing Germany, oversees quality on a Diedrich roaster, ensuring every batch meets exacting standards. The roastery offers espresso, filter, and omni roast profiles, with their Meridian Collection showcasing diverse terroirs and varietals from Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kenya, and the Mogiana region of São Paulo, Brazil. Every coffee is cupped after roasting for quality control and flavor profiling, a discipline that reflects their commitment to consistency across four Berlin cafe locations. Direct trade relationships built through origin travel underpin their sourcing, and wholesale distribution extends their reach to partners around the world.
