"Khairi Andiko is a coffee processor from Bener Meriah, Aceh, where he honors Gayo’s sacred connection to nature. In Gayo, coffee has it's own traditional name, Siti Kewe, and is treated like a daughter of the family. Processing Red Bourbon and Ateng cherries harvested at 1,700 masl in Bener Kelipah, he leverages high-altitude volcanic soils to achieve remarkable cup clarity. Preparing his entry for Cup of Excellence was an extraordinary test of resilience. In the aftermath of severe flooding in Aceh, navigating unpredictable weather and recovering landscapes made gathering and processing cherries immensely challenging.
To craft his lot for the competition, Khairi developed an intricate ""3D Washed"" technique. This method combines Anaerobic Natural, Anaerobic Honey, and Anaerobic Washed fermentations with a refined washed finish, requiring extended fermentation times, strict climate control, and constant monitoring. Khairi’s ultimate dream is to share every achievement with the people who stand beside him every day. He envisions uplifting worker welfare, supporting local cherry pickers, and bringing sustainable prosperity to the entire coffee community in Bener Meriah."

“Quality coffee is born from the harmony of nature, perseverance, consistency, prayer, and a deep love for every step of the process.”
