Description:Constructed in 2022, Sadayana washing station is connecting farmers in West Java with new resources while diversifying the processing methods available from Indonesia. We’re excited about this beautiful mixture of classic Indonesia flavors paired with clean, fruity notes from the Fully Washed processing method. 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. Farmers contributing cherry to the station have access to services including agronomic support and affordable seedlings through the station. While Indonesia is known for its Wet Hulled processing method, an increasing number of cooperatives and processors are expanding their processing methods, helping 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.
