Aceh coffee originated from the Netherlands brought by a Dutch businessman through Batavia now Jakarta and then into Aceh. The first coffee introduced was Arabica type coffee which later developed with a more diverse type.
In the world, coffee can be divided into two groups by type, namely Arabica coffee and Robusta coffee. In Aceh these two types of coffee are cultivated by the local community. Arabica coffee is commonly cultivated in the highlands of Gayo Land, including Takengon, Southeast Aceh, and Gayo Lues. While in Pidie (mainly Tangse and Geumpang) and Aceh Barat, people prefer to develop Robusta coffee.

Indonesia is the world's fourth largest exporter of coffee beans, and Aceh is one of the largest coffee producers capable of producing about 50% of the premium Arabica beans of total coffee harvest in Indonesia

What makes Aceh coffee more interesting is its distinctive way of presentation that is different from the way coffee is served anywhere in the world. Coffee brewed with water kept steady. The steaming coffee is filtered repeatedly with a strainer made of cloth, then poured from one kettle to another. The result is a very solid coffee, fragrant, and clean without containing coffee powder

Ulee Kareng coffee beans are produced from selected quality coffee beans from Lamno, Aceh Jaya District. The coffee beans are produced by small and medium enterprises. By the locals, this high-quality coffee powder is then uniquely processed, from grinding to filtering to a cup in a separate way. This is why Aceh coffee, especially coffee Ulee Kareng is then transformed into an icon of Aceh itself. The awesomeness of Aceh's coffee aroma has long been legendary in Indonesia, and is now also worldwide thanks to the many coffee lovers from international workers who have come and lived in Aceh for many years.
