Sadayana | Anaerobic Natural | Indonesia

Cuppers Choice is the name right? As I'm writing this we haven't even cupped this coffee. We got like a cheeky racing tip from someone at Sucafina (name redacted for vocational security reason). They were like "psst, buy this, it's the best and nobody knows it yet" so of course our gambling glands started pumping and we instructed Thomas to get some money down on it. If this section is still here when the coffee is released that's because it's fire, if I've deleted it then you wont know about it anyway, but somebody who's giving out dodgy tip offs will.

So yeah, the coffee:

West Java Cirambai Anaerobic Natural comes from small farms tucked into the Rancabali highlands of Bandung, West Java. These farms sit at 1,400–1,700 meters above sea level, where volcanic soil, misty mornings, and cool mountain air create the perfect conditions for slow cherry maturation. The result? Dense, complex coffee with a bold, fruit-driven character.

The Sadayana Washing Station, built in 2022 by PT Sucafina in collaboration with local producers, handles processing. More than just a mill, it’s a hub for farmer support, offering compost, seedlings, and microfinance programs to help sustain and grow the work of the 191 smallholder farmers who deliver their cherry here. Most farms are tiny—just 0.5 to 1 hectare—but their collective effort produces something remarkable.

This lot is Ateng Ijo and Ateng Coklat, two hardy, high-yielding varieties with big sweetness and structure. Processing follows a 72-hour anaerobic fermentation in sealed barrels with one-way valves, locking in deep, layered fruit notes. After fermentation, the coffee dries on raised beds for up to three days, then moves to patios for another 4–12 days, depending on the weather.

Expect ripe fruit intensity, syrupy sweetness, and a structured, lingering finish—the kind of cup that makes you stop and pay attention.
