Special Edition Mystery Coffee Reveal - Skylark

The second of our 2025 Mystery Coffee League Meet-up specials, roasted locally by not-for-profit coffee roasters SkyLark. Time for the reveal!

This coffee is sourced from small family farms in the Rancabali subdistrict of Bandung, West Java. The mild climate and rich soil of this part of Indonesia contribute to the unique flavor and quality of the coffee. After harvesting, it is processed at the Sadayana Washing Station, a three-year-old facility established by PT Sucafina in collaboration with local producing partners. The washing station provides important services such as composting, seedling programs, and microfinancing, and supports 191 farmers. 

To process the coffee, the cherries were selectively sorted in tanks to remove defective or underripe fruits. The coffee was then fermented using natural anaerobic fermentation in barrels with a one-way valve for 72 hours. After fermentation, the coffee was dried on raised beds for 2-3 days and then on patios for 4-12 days, depending on the weather conditions. Drying is a tricky process in Indonesia because of the humid and unpredictable climate, so producing coffee of this caliber is a real achievement!
