Colombia Chapata

About This Coffee

This Colombia Chapata is a natural processed coffee grown at 1800 meters above sea level. It features a blend of Castillo, Colombia, and Caturra varieties. The coffee is processed by placing cleaned, ripe cherries in baskets for aerobic fermentation for 24-36 hours, followed by mechanical drying. This lot offers a clean, sugary profile with distinct tropical fruit notes of mango, papaya, and candied tamarind paste, providing a sweet experience without excessive fermentation characteristics.

Skylark Coffee

Skylark Coffee is the UK's only 100% non profit coffee roaster, operating as a registered charity under OCB Initiatives in Brighton. Founded by Micah Sherer, a former elite barista with extensive supply chain experience across Africa and South America, and Ben Szobody, a former political journalist and co publisher of Longberry magazine, the roastery donates all profits to charity. They roast on a Probat at the foot of the South Downs, paying top specialty prices and donating an additional £1 per kilo to environmental and social causes. Their charity partners include Knepp Wildland Foundation for rewilding in Sussex, The Stumping Project supporting Ethiopian coffee farmers, and Pro Baristas, which has trained over 2,000 people for employment in the coffee sector. In 2023, 94% of their coffee met at least one of three key sourcing principles, with a target of 100% by 2025.
