Lasi is the home-origin cornerstone of VERLO Coffee. Situated in Agam Regency on the volcanic slopes of Mount Marapi, Lasi produces high-altitude Arabica characterized by vibrant sweetness and clean fruit depth.
Where is Lasi?
Lasi is a highland farming community located in Canduang, Agam Regency, West Sumatra, situated at approximately 1,350 to 1,500 MASL on the slopes of Mount Marapi. Its proximity to VERLO’s roastery in Bukittinggi allows for direct observation of harvest, processing, and solar drying beds.
Role in the Espresso Blend Collection
Lasi provides the cornerstone component for Marapi Gold — Flagship Espresso Blend:
- Arabica Lasi Marapi (Natural Anaerobic): Fermented in sealed tanks before slow drying on raised beds. This component provides the blend’s signature milk chocolate and brown sugar sweetness, lifted by a clean orange citrus note.
- In Marapi Gold, this natural-anaerobic lot is paired with a washed Arabica from Bukik Gompong (Solok) to ensure cup balance and structural clarity.
Verified Terroir Documentation
Sourcing from Lasi follows VERLO’s verification standard: direct origin collaboration, verified elevation and processing data, and sensory confirmation on the cupping table before release.
