Gayo coffee history when the Dutch colonial

Takengon which is one of the world's best coffee producer and exporter of Indonesia's largest coffee abroad proved to have its own history. Gayo Land is a pretty good place for a coffee plantation with an altitude of 1,000 to 1,300 meters above sea level. according to Dutch insyinyur that the best coffee is at an altitude of 1200 meters above sea level. Four places in Tanah Gayo Dutch plantations, among others Takengon district, and the central highlands.

Early Dutch colonists open the coffee plantations

As expressed by Mr. Tomo and Mr. Jafar as the former plantation worker, plantation workers brought the Dutch from Java in 1931 for diperkebunan employed, for the workers of the plantation area consists of hundreds of workers and having each function, there placed as foreman or supervisor or a supervisor plantation workers.

As with Javanese culture, the beginning of each payday Dutch holding entertainment events like Ketoprak, puppets etc. as popular entertainment. Besides the earlier settlers of the plantation region existing indigenous tribe, namely (Gayo). When the Dutch introduced coffee plants to new Gayo Gayo society was at that time aware of any marketed Coffee Gayo however difficult because the trade is still dominated by the Dutch.

History of Coffee In Aceh, Indonesia

Unknown

In Aceh there are two types of coffee that is cultivated Arabica coffee and Robusta coffee. Two types of Aceh Gayo coffee is very famous Gayo coffee (Arabica) and Ulee Kareeng coffee (Robusta). For Arabica coffee types are generally cultivated in the highlands region "Gayo Land", Southeast Aceh and Gayo Lues, whereas in Pidie district (especially Tangse region and Geumpang) and more dominant West Aceh developed by the people here in the form of Robusta coffee.

Arabica coffee is rather large and dark green, oval leaves, trees reaching seven meters high. But in coffee plantations, tree height is kept to a range of 2-3 meters. The goal is that easy when harvested. Arabica coffee trees begin producing fruit within its first three years. Normally branches grow from the stem with a length of about 15 cm. Younger leaves above color because sunlight while darker underneath. Each bar accommodates 10-15 small flowers that would be the coffee fruit. From this process emerged later called the coffee cherry fruit, oval-shaped, two pieces side by side.

Coffee Gayo is one commodity that comes from the Gayo Highlands. Coffee plantations have been developed since 1908 it thrives in the central highlands and Central Aceh. Both areas are located at an altitude of 1200 m from the sea level have the largest coffee plantation in Indonesia, with an area of about 81,000 ha. Each 42,000 ha located in the central highlands and the remaining 39,000 ha in Central Aceh district.

Gayo is a tribal name that inhabit this area. The majority of people living as Gayo Coffee Growers. Arabica coffee varieties dominate the type developed by Gayo coffee farmers. Arabica coffee production resulting from the Gayo Land is the largest in Asia

In the area of coffee grown in an organic way without chemicals so coffee is also known as green coffee (environmentally friendly). Gayo coffee is touted as the best organic coffee in the world.

Coffee Developments In Indonesia

Unknown

Indonesia is the fourth largest coffee producer in the world after Brazil, Vietnam and Colombia. The ability of Indonesia as one of the largest coffee producer in the world is a long story since the days of the Dutch East Indies government since the early 1900s. At that time, the Dutch East Indies government made coffee as one of the export commodity. produced by coffee plantations managed by the Dutch government and almost all of these are exported, except unsold coffee exported. This low-quality coffee sold to the domestic market. In line with the establishment of coffee plantations at that time, then mushroomed precisely ground coffee processing industry, although the majority of its business scale is still small and medium industries. The forerunner of today's biggest coffee producer, such as Ship Fire brand has stood at that time (1927).

Growth in production of processed coffee, especially coffee powder continues to climb. Production of coffee powder Indonesia in 2008 reached 129 659 tons. In the last five years (2004-2008), the growth of coffee production reached an average of 5.0 percent per year. As will be discussed in another chapter in the book of this study, which was almost entirely domestic production of ground coffee is consumed in the local market, meaning that the relatively flat growth is a reflection of the growth of local consumption of coffee powder that grows relatively gentle anyway.

Later, various processed coffee differentiation developed in the country, but it seems there are only two types of market gets, the instant coffee (without pulp) and coffee mix. instant coffee appeared on the domestic market along with the establishment of PT Nestle Indonesia (1993), and then PT Sari Incofood Corporation (1984). In the last five years, the production of instant coffee ranges in 10.000an thousand tons per year with a growth trend in the period 2004-2008 is relatively slow, reaching 4.3 percent per year. Instant coffee production in Indonesia in 2008 reached 10,995 tons, and production in 2009 is expected not much different from the previous year, which is 11,000 tons.

Overall, the total production of coffee powder and instant coffee in 2008 reached 140 654 tonnes, up an average of 4.8 percent per year since 2004, or during the last five years. In 2009, the two types of coffee production is estimated at 141,000 tons. These production estimates are based on the effect of economic growth stagnated in 2009 as a continuation of the impact of the global financial crisis in 2007-2008 before.

The coffee market in the country today is not only enlivened by the coffee powder and instant coffee, but also by the presence of more and more coffee mix coffee fans have a place in the country. This coffee excellence lies not only in the design of the packaging is such that it is very practical consumed, because dikemasan in sachet packaging, but also creativity serving coffee producers in many variants, both in terms of the decafeinated or non decafeinated; or in terms of a diverse mix of flavors. The surge in production is inevitable, even in quantity equaling or never equaled the amount of ground coffee production itself, which is 102 053 tonnes in 2005 (Source: CBS). Indeed, the production still looks choppy, and in 2008 amounted to 87 505 tonnes.

Somehow broke down the economy in the last five years due to various crises hit, no doubt influenced the development of coffee production this mix as well. For, as is known, that the proportion of coffee in the coffee mix is actually relatively small (between 5 to 13% by volume), meaning that the largest components such as milk, sugar and other mixtures such as chocolate, ginseng, creamer, ginger and others. Because generally, coffee mix is packaged in a sachet, packaging cost factors also affect the production of this COFFEE.

In terms of manufacturers, PT Santos Jaya Abadi is still a leader in the coffee business in Indonesia, where in the last three years (2007- 2009) the company was controlled between 44% to 45% share of the coffee market in Indonesia. While PT Eka Semesta Torabika still stalking in second with priduksi share in the range of 17% to 22%, followed by PT Sari Incoffod Corporation on production share between 13% to 14% and PT Nestle Indonesia the share of production in the range of 5% to 6% .

In terms of production per company was also able to describe the competitive landscape of coffee in Indonesia, which is still dominated by a handful of large companies only. Although, as has been mentioned earlier that the total coffee producers in Indonesia is more than 400 companies, which are certainly still actively producing as many as 205 companies, but the number of small businesses that are hundreds of having only a share of the production of not more than 8% only. That is, the competitive landscape is clearly smaller companies is hard to be able to compete fairly against a handful of large companies which are very aggressive in advertising their products, both in the media of television, radio and print media.

Not surprisingly, in the year 2009 the rigors of competition in the coffee business in Indonesia lives of more than 110 pieces of domestic companies, small or medium that is no longer able to operate, in which 69 companies have ceased operations and 17 company actually stopped production permanent basis, as well as three companies abandon plans to produce coffee business.

In general area and coffee production in Indonesia for 10 years terahir (2002-2011) coffee crop area expansion was almost no meaning. In the period of TSB. acreage has decreased by 4.6%. Similarly, in the same period Indonesia's coffee production has stagnated, even in the year 2011 decreased significantly, due to the erratic weather conditions. Approximately 95% of production TSB. a folk coffee (coffee smallholders), while the rest is a big coffee plantations (coffee estates).

Robusta coffee composition approximately 83% of the total Indonesian coffee production and the remaining 17% in the form of arabica coffee. Comparison of robusta with arabica coffee production is expected that the percentage may be increased, which is to be 30% Arabica coffee and Robusta 70%

Some of the names of Indonesia's coffee production which has been known abroad commercially is the Gayo Arabica coffee spesialti Coffee, Coffee Lintong, Mandheling Coffee, Java Coffee, Civet Coffee, Bali Kintamani Coffee, Toraja Coffee & Flores / Bajawa Coffee which has become a mainstay Icon of Indonesian Coffee and a very well known abroad, because it has a distinctive flavor characteristics and (spesialti).

The History Of Coffee In Indonesia

Unknown

Coffee became famous in Indonesia in 1696 when Mayor semanjak Asterdam, Nicholas Witsen ordered the commander of the Dutch forces in the Malabar Coast, Adrian Van Ommen, to bring the beans to Batavia. Arabica coffee is first grown and developed at a place in the east Djatinegara, which uses ground partikelir Kedaung now better known as Pondok Coffee. Some time later arabica coffee spread to various areas in West Java such as Bogor, Sukabumi, Banten and Priangan, until then spread to other areas, such as Sumatera, Sulawesi, Bali and Timor.

Shortly after that, coffee became a very reliable trading commodity VOC. Exports of coffee first performed in 1711 by the VOC, and during the 10-year exports increased to 60 tons / year. Therefore, the Dutch East Indies became the first plantation outside of Arabia and Ethiopia which makes VOC monopolize the coffee trade from 1725 to 1780.

To support the production of coffee, VOCs make lopsided agreements with the local authorities where the native coffee plant are required to be submitted to the VOC. This agreement is called Koffiestelsel (coffee system). Thanks to this system is also of high quality coffee beans from Java land could overwhelm Europe. Java coffee was so terkenak while in Europe so that Europeans call it instead a cup of coffee, but a cup of java. Until the mid-19th century, Javanese coffee is the best in the world.

Coffee trading system continue even then dissolved VOC and Dutch East Indies was ruled by the Dutch command. When Hermann Willem Daendels (1762-1818) reign, he built a road from the tip to the eastern tip of Java bawat the Anyer-Panarukan. The goal is to facilitate the transport of soldiers and correspondence Dutch in Java. The other reason, of course, to speed up the coffee beans from the eastern tip of Java reaches port in Batavia, and then shipped to the Netherlands for sale to Europe.

Suffering due koffie stelsel then continues with alias cultuurstelsel forced cultivation system. Through a system of forced cultivation created Johannes van den Bosch (1780-1844), the people are required for growing government-owned export commodities, including coffee at one fifth of the cultivated land, or work for 66 days at the government-owned plantations. As a result, there was a famine in the land of Java and Sumatra in the 1840s. However, thanks to the Java cultuurstelsel became the largest supplier of coffee beans in Europe. In between the years 1830-1834 in Java Arabica coffee production reached 26,600 tons, hose 30 years later coffee production had increased to 79 600 tonnes.

Java coffee production reached its zenith in the 19th century, which in 1880-1884 reached 94.4 thousand tons. At that time, coffee plays a much more important role than the sugar cane. If the value of coffee exports on average between the years 1865-1970 reached 25.965 million guilders, then in the same period the average export value of sugar cane just reached 8.416 million guilders.

Fall of java coffee started when disease struck in 1878 coffee plantations across the archipelago Each affected coffee pest caused by Hemileia Vasatrix. The disease kills all plants that grow arabica in the lowlands. Arabica coffee is grown on the remaining land is just as high as 1,000 meters above sea level.

The fading glories of Java coffee is then filled by Arabica coffee from Brazil and Colombia who continue to dominate until now. Even so, the rest of Arabica coffee plants are still found in pockets in Indonesian coffee producers, among others, Ijen plateau (East Java), high soil Toraja (South Sulawesi), as well as the upper slopes of the Bukit Barisan mountains (Sunatera), as Mandailaing, Lintong and Sidikalang (Sumatra), as well as the central highlands (Aceh).

To address these vicious pests, the Dutch government then Liberika coffee plant more pest resistant. Unfortunately, this variety is not so long and also popular pests. So Robusta coffee was introduced in Indonesia in the early 1900s to replace Liberika and arabica coffee were destroyed because of pests. Robusta coffee is more resistant to pests is considered as an appropriate alternative to coffee plantations, especially in low-lying areas. Currently, coffee production in Indonesia ranks fourth largest in the world.

Social and Culture of Coffee

Unknown

Coffee is often consumed alongside (or instead of) breakfast by many at home. It is often served at the end of a meal, normally with a dessert, and at times with an after-dinner mint especially when consumed at a restaurant or dinner party.

Aggressively promoted by the Pan-American Coffee Bureau, the "coffee break" was first promoted in 1952. Hitherto unknown in the workplace, its uptake was facilitated by the recent popularity of both instant coffee and vending machines, and has become an institution of the American workplace.

Coffeehouses

Various legends involving the introduction of coffee to Istanbul at a "Kiva Han" in the late 15th century circulate in culinary tradition, but with no documentation. Most widely known as coffeehouses or cafés, establishments serving prepared coffee or other hot beverages have existed for over five hundred years.

Coffeehouses in Mecca soon became a concern as places for political gatherings to the imams who banned them, and the drink, for Muslims between 1512 and 1524. In 1530 the first coffee house was opened in Damascus. First coffee houses in Constantinople was opened in 1475 by traders arriving from Damascus and Aleppo. Soon after, coffee houses became part of the Ottoman Culture, spreading rapidly to all regions of the Ottoman Empire.

In the 17th century, coffee appeared for the first time in Europe outside the Ottoman Empire, and coffeehouses were established and quickly became popular. The first coffeehouses in Western Europe appeared in Venice, a result of the traffic between La Serenissima and the Ottomans; the very first one is recorded in 1645. The first coffeehouse in England was set up in Oxford in 1650 by a Jewish man named Jacob in the building now known as "The Grand Cafe". A plaque on the wall still commemorates this and the Cafe is now a trendy cocktail bar. By 1675, there were more than 3,000 coffeehouses in England.

After the second Turkish siege of Vienna in 1683, the Viennese discovered many bags of coffee in the abandoned Ottoman encampment. Using this captured stock, a Polish soldier named Kulczycki opened the first coffeehouse in Vienna.

In 1672 an Armenian named Pascal established a coffee stall in Paris that was ultimately unsuccessful and the city had to wait until 1689 for its first coffeehouse when Procopio Cutò opened the Café Procope. This coffeehouse still exists today and was a major meeting place of the French Enlightenment; Voltaire, Rousseau, and Denis Diderotfrequented it, and it is arguably the birthplace of the Encyclopédie, the first modern encyclopedia. America had its first coffeehouse in Boston, in 1676. Coffee, tea and beer were often served together in establishments which functioned both as coffeehouses and taverns; one such was the Green Dragon in Boston, where John Adams, James Otis and Paul Revere planned rebellion.

The modern espresso machine was born in Milan in 1945 by Achille Gaggia, and from there spread across coffeehouses and restaurants across Italy and the rest of Europe and North America in the early 1950s. An Italian named Pino Riservato opened the first espresso bar, the Moka Bar, in Soho in 1952, and there were 400 such bars in London alone by 1956. Cappucino was particularly popular among English drinkers. Similarly in the United States, the espresso craze spread. North Beach in San Francisco saw the opening of the Caffe Trieste in 1957, which saw Beat Generation poets such as Allen Ginsberg and Bob Kaufman alongside bemused Italian immigrants. Similar such cafes existed in Greenwich Village and elsewhere.

The first Peet's Coffee & Tea store opened in 1966 in Berkeley, California by Dutch native Alfred Peet. He chose to focus on roasting batches with fresher, higher quality seeds than was the norm at the time. He was a trainer and supplier to the founders of Starbuck’s.

The international coffeehouse chain Starbucks began as a modest business roasting and selling quality coffee seeds in 1971, by three college students Jerry Baldwin, Gordon Bowker and Zev Siegl. The first store opened on March 30, 1971 at the Pike Place Market in Seattle, followed by a second and third over the next two years. EntrepreneurHoward Schultz joined the company in 1982 as Director of Retail Operations and Marketing, and pushed to sell premade espresso coffee. The others were reluctant, but Schultz opened Il Giornale in Seattle in April 1986. He bought the other owners out in March 1987 and pushed on with plans to expand—from 1987 to the end of 1991, the chain (rebranded from Il Giornale to Starbucks) expanded to over 100 outlets. The company has 16,600 stores in over 40 countries worldwide.

South Korea experienced almost 900 percent growth in the number of coffee shops in the country between 2006 and 2011. The capital city Seoul now has the highest concentration of coffee shops in the world, with more than 10,000 cafes and coffee houses.

Barista

Prohibition[edit]Barista is a contemporary term for a person who makes coffee beverages, often a coffeehouse employee. Though the title is not regulated, highly skilled baristas may be trained in numerous methods of brewing, and may be knowledgeable about or involved in the production of coffee at every stage, from seed to cup.

Coffee drinking was prohibited by jurists and scholars (ulema) meeting in Mecca in 1511 as haraam, but the subject of whether it was intoxicating was hotly debated over the next 30 years until the ban was finally overturned in the mid-16th century. Use in religious rites among the Sufibranch of Islam led to coffee's being put on trial in Mecca: it was accused of being a heretical substance, and its production and consumption were briefly repressed. It was later prohibited in Ottoman Turkey under an edict by the Sultan Murad IV.^[7]Coffee was initially used for spiritual reasons. At least 1,100 years ago, traders brought coffee across the Red Sea into Arabia (modern-day Yemen), where Muslim dervishes began cultivating the shrub in their gardens. At first, the Arabians made wine from the pulp of the fermented coffee berries. This beverage was known as qishr (kisher in modern usage) and was used during religious ceremonies.

Coffee, regarded as a Muslim drink, was prohibited by Ethiopian Orthodox Christians until as late as 1889; it is now considered a national drink of Ethiopia for people of all faiths. Its early association in Europe with rebellious political activities led to Charles II outlawing coffeehouses from January 1676 (although the uproar created forced the monarch to back down two days before the ban was due to come into force). Frederick the Great banned it in Prussia in 1777 for nationalistic and economic reasons; concerned about the price of import, he sought to force the public back to consuming beer. Lacking coffee-producing colonies, Prussia had to import all its coffee at a great cost.

A contemporary example of religious prohibition of coffee can be found in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The organization holds that it is both physically and spiritually unhealthy to consume coffee. This comes from the Mormon doctrine of health, given in 1833 by founder Joseph Smith in a revelation called the Word of Wisdom. It does not identify coffee by name, but includes the statement that "hot drinks are not for the belly," which has been interpreted to forbid both coffee and tea.

Quite a number of members of the Seventh-day Adventist Church also avoid caffeinated drinks. In its teachings, the Church encourages members to avoid tea and coffee and other stimulants. Abstinence from coffee, tobacco and alcohol by many Adventists has afforded a near unique opportunity for studies to be conducted within that population group on the health effects of coffee drinking, free from confounding factors. One study was able to show a weak but statistically significant association between coffee consumption and mortality from ischemic heart disease, other cardiovascular disease, all cardiovascular diseases combined, and all causes of death.

For a time, there had been controversy in the Jewish community over whether the coffee seed was a legume and therefore prohibited forPassover. Upon petition from coffeemaker Maxwell House, the coffee seed was classified in 1923 as a berry rather than a seed by orthodox Jewish rabbi Hersch Kohn, and therefore kosher for Passover.

Fair trade

Since the founding of organisations such as the European Fair Trade Association (1987), the production and consumption of fair trade coffee has grown as some local and national coffee chains started to offer fair trade alternatives. For example, in April 2000, after a year-long campaign by the human rights organization Global Exchange, Starbucks decided to carry fair-trade coffee in its stores.^[204] Since September 2009 all Starbucks Espresso beverages in UK and Ireland are made with Fairtrade and Shared Planet certified coffee. The concept of fair trade labeling, which guarantees coffee growers a negotiated preharvest price, began with the Max Havelaar Foundation'slabeling program in the Netherlands. In 2004, 24,222 metric tons (of 7,050,000 produced worldwide) were fair trade; in 2005, 33,991 metric tons out of 6,685,000 were fair trade, an increase from 0.34% to 0.51%. A number of fair trade impact studies have shown that fair trade coffee produces a mixed impact on the communities that grow it. Many studies are skeptical about fair trade, reporting that it often worsens the bargaining power of those who are not part of it. Coffee was incorporated into the fair-trade movement in 1988, when the Max Havelaar mark was introduced in the Netherlands. The very first fair-trade coffee was an effort to import a Guatemalan coffee into Europe as "Indio Solidarity Coffee".

A 2005 study done in Belgium concluded that consumers' buying behavior is not consistent with their positive attitude toward ethical products. On average 46% of European consumers claimed to be willing to pay substantially more for ethical products, including fair-trade products such as coffee. The study found that the majority of respondents were unwilling to pay the actual price premium of 27% for fair trade coffee.

Folklore and culture

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.

Johann Sebastian Bach was inspired to pen the Coffee Cantata, about dependence on the beverage.

Coffee Day

In the United States, September 29 is celebrated as "National Coffee Day."^[ Coffee Day is also celebrated in a handful of other countries as well.

Economic impacts

Coffee production attracted immigrants in search of better economic opportunities in the early 1900s. Mainly, these were Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, German, and Japanese nationals. For instance, São Paulo received approximately 733,000 immigrants in the decade preceding 1900, whilst only receiving approximately 201,000 immigrants in the six years to 1890. The production yield of coffee increases. In 1880, São Paulo produced 1.2 million bags (25% of total production), in 1888 2.6 million (40%), in 1902 8 million bags (60%). Coffee is then 63% of the country's exports. The gains made by this trade allow sustained economic growth in the country.Market volatility, and thus increased returns, during 1830 encouraged Brazilian entrepreneurs to shift their attention from gold to coffee, a crop hitherto reserved for local consumption. Concurrent with this shift was the commissioning of vital infrastructures, including approximately 7,000 km of railroads between 1860 and 1885. The creation of these railways enabled the importation of workers, in order to meet the enormous need for labor. This development primarily affected the State of Rio de Janeiro, as well as the Southern States of Brazil, most notably São Paulo, due to its favourable climate, soils, and terrain.

The four years between planting a coffee and the first harvest extends seasonal variations in the price of coffee. The Brazilian Government is thus forced, to some extent, to keep strong price subsidies during production periods. This policy of price support is inflation negative effect of plantations in São Paulo, resulting in a huge blockbuster to early 1930.

Competition

Coffee competitions take place across the globe with people at the regional competing to achieve national titles and then compete on the international stage. World Coffee Events holds the largest of such events moving the location of the final competition each year. The competition includes the following events: Barista Championship, Brewers Cup, Latte Art and Cup Tasters. A World Brewer's Cup Championship takes place in Melbourne, Australia every year that houses contestants from around the world to crown the World's Coffee King.

Other uses

While coffee is most well known as a beverage, it is also used as an ingredient in cooking. Recipes with coffee as a main or essential ingredient include North American pumpernickel, red-eye gravy, and tiramisu, among others. Coffee sauce is a culinary sauce that includes coffee in its preparation.
