Pantan Musara is a high elevation region in Aceh Province, South Takengon. The coffee is made up of small-holders in the region who belong to a coffee cooperative called "Ribang Gayo Musara Cooperative". One unique aspect of this particular Sumatran coffee coop, is that they focus on processes like fully washed, natural and honey rather than the traditional wet-hulled that you mostly find from Sumatra. They've refined their technique, each lot of coffee undergoing extensive hand sorting in order to prepare to grade 1 standards. The coop has also build large drying domes with both raised beds and patio space to dry their coffee. Farm altitude in this region starts at 1500 meters on the low end and tops out around 1700 meters above sea level.
