"Through Gayo Origin Project, Nofri Tri Hapid leads coffee
processing in the highland subdistrict of Atu Lintang, Central
Aceh.
For Nofri, specialty coffee processing always begins with a
thorough evaluation of the raw material, assessing cherry maturity,
sugar density (Brix), pH levels, and ambient weather before
selecting any fermentation pathway or processing method. Applying
this philosophy to his Honey processed lot, Nofri avoids rigid,
one-size-fits-all recipes in favor of a approach tailored to the
natural character of the fruit. By carefully monitoring ambient
humidity and controlling drying speed in Atu Lintang, his precise
technique protects the parchment while unlocking sweetness and
preserving the authentic terroir.
Nofri firmly believes that exceptional quality is the result of a
chain of mindful decisions, starting with well-tended trees and
selective harvesting. Driven by transparency and social
responsibility, he strives to ensure that every milestone achieved
by Gayo Origin Project brings genuine recognition and shared
benefits to the local farmers, cherry pickers, and processing
workers who make the harvest possible."
“There is no single processing method that fits every coffee. Our job is to understand the character of the raw material first, select the right method, and execute it consistently so the true identity of the fruit shines in the cup.”
