Major coffee growing regions in Indonesia include Sumatra, Sulawesi, Java, Flores Islands and Bali. The Dutch brought coffee to Indonesia from Ethiopia in the 17th century. They tested all of the islands and the first foothold was East Java...from there it spread like wildfire. Sumatra is the sixth largest island in the world and yet probably one of the least visited. Sumatra is primarily sold from 2 regions, Aceh and North Sumatra. Aceh is known for its Mandhelings. The region produces 90% organic coffee by default. They also produce a larger bean size that is grown at a high elevation. Aceh has 68,000 Hectares and 65,000 farmers. Sumatra is made up of many small community growers, each averaging one Hectare.
