About this coffee
Sadayana is named for the Sundanese word for working together. The Sunda are one of the three largest ethnic groups on Java, and the area where Sadayana washing station is located is majority Sundanese. Approximately 200 farmers deliver cherry to Sadayana washing station.
Sucafina financed the construction of Sadayana washing station in March 2022. The station is operated by a local partner and farmers contributing cherry to the station have access to Sucafina services including agronomic support and affordable seedlings.
Harvest and post-harvest
While Indonesia is known for its Wet Hulled processing method, an increasing number of cooperatives and processors are expanding their processing methods. This helps them tap into new markets.
Farmers selectively handpick ripe, red cherry and deliver it to Sadayana washing station. At intake, cherry is floated in a mechanical siphon and pulped. Coffee is placed in a ceramic tile-lined fermentation tank and fermented for 16 hours. Following fermentation, parchment is washed in clean water and then laid to dry on raised beds. Parchment is raked frequently to ensure even drying. It takes 7 to 15 days for parchment to dry.
