Let's take a trip down memory lane. The year is 2012 and our roaster Micah was just a baby barista at a small independent shop in South Carolina. He took a trip 3 hours south to Atlanta to visit a locally famous shop called Octane, and had one of those espresso experiences that stay with you for the rest of your life – an espresso blend pulled so perfectly that it had flawless body, sweetness, and clarity of flavours. The kind of espresso that's so good you order a second just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, and a third just for the pure enjoyment. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's the experience that our Stable blend hopes to recapture. It's primarily designed to be a killer espresso or blend harmoniously in a milky coffee, but it works brilliantly as filter as well if you want something rounded, full, and sweet.\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skylark Coffee","offers":[{"title":"250g \/ Whole bean","offer_id":31703824924790,"sku":"","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground for Espresso (fine)","offer_id":41466055819382,"sku":"","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground for Filter (medium coarse)","offer_id":31703824957558,"sku":"","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground for Cafetière (coarse)","offer_id":56141750468994,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Whole bean","offer_id":31703824990326,"sku":"","price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground for Espresso (fine)","offer_id":41466055852150,"sku":"","price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground for Filter (medium coarse)","offer_id":31703825023094,"sku":"","price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground for Cafetière (coarse)","offer_id":56141750501762,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9566\/1686\/products\/common-life-coffee-0654.jpg?v=1620637709"},{"product_id":"brazil-santa-rosa-natural","title":"Brazil Santa Rosa Natural","description":"\u003cp\u003eEven in Specialty, coffee prices are very based on the commodity price for coffee. When the market is up, the price that you as a consumer pay goes up. The trick that roasters play? When the market price goes back down, they leave the prices you pay at the higher level. It's how roasters pad their profits whilst blaming prices on inflation. We're trying to do things differently, so when we buy a beautiful Brazilian coffee from a certified carbon-neutral farm at a really low market price? We pass those savings on to you, the consumer. Here's a specialty coffee at the same price as your supermarket blend, and not only did the farmer get paid fairly, all the proceeds go to charity (as always with Skylark).

Petrônio was born to a coffee producing family, with history stretching back to his grandfather who set the standard of the family’s devotion to agriculture. Today, Fazenda Santa Rosa—which totals 636 hectares of land and includes 290 hectares of coffee production—is just one of the family’s farms in the Sul de Minas region. After a survey this year, it was also declared to be carbon neutral in all its operations! Quite an accreditation for a country in which mechanized picking is de rigueur. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePetrônio’s main motivation is to produce specialty coffees, aiming to produce high quality lots with a commitment to the hard work and innovation needed to accomplish his goal. That motivation is supported by the social ties that connect Petrônio and his family to the broader coffee industry. As he explains, “[relationships] created within the coffee market, whether with friends in Brazil and customers and partners abroad, also motivate us more and more to increase our commitment and performance in the sector.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lot of Yellow Bourbon coffee underwent Natural processing. Yellow Bourbon was discovered in 1930 on a Red Bourbon farm in Pederneiras, São Paulo, Brazil. It’s unclear if Yellow Bourbon developed as a natural mutation of Red Bourbon, or if it was a naturally occurring cross between Red Bourbon and Yellow Botucatu, a mutation of Typica discovered in 1871 in Botucatu, São Paulo. Yellow Bourbon is known for good cup quality and relatively high productivity, and has come back into fashion as a cultivated variety across Brazil after its initial novelty wore off in the mid 1900’s. Instituto Agronomico (IAC) of Sao Paulo State in Campinas, Brazil renewed research efforts of the variety in 2005, seeking to highlight the plant’s robust nature and high cup potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElevation: 1000 Meters above Sea Level\u003cbr\u003eVarietal: Yellow Catuai\u003cbr\u003eCup score: 83\u003cbr\u003ePrice paid per kg: £4.50\u003cbr\u003eProcess: Fully natural, cherries are sorted, then dried on patios\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brazil","offers":[{"title":"250g \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":32208154624118,"sku":null,"price":9.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground for Filter (medium coarse)","offer_id":32208154656886,"sku":null,"price":9.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground for Espresso (fine)","offer_id":41466037829750,"sku":"","price":9.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":32208154689654,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground for Filter (medium coarse)","offer_id":32208154722422,"sku":null,"price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground for Espresso (fine)","offer_id":41466037862518,"sku":"","price":33.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9566\/1686\/products\/IMG_20170727_142936105.jpg?v=1610549272"},{"product_id":"comfort-blend","title":"Comfort Blend","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis one goes out to the Classic Coffee Drinkers.

Mexican coffee has dwindled to almost nothing in recent years as a result of coffee leaf rust, low C market prices, political strife, and drug trafficking. Almost all remaining Mexican coffees are grown on large estates in Oaxaca and other well-known provinces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis coffee is different. It is from the Guerrero region, and is grown by indigenous people in traditional biodynamic fashion. These coffees are from tiny farms (often less than a hectare) with productions of less than 60 kg from many of them. These farmers' way of life depends on companies like Skylark to support them by paying higher prices than the market would offer for the quality they supply... that's why we bought a really big lot from Guerrero this year. Fortunately, the quality of this particular lot is stellar. Luscious notes of Ferrero Rocher and cherry preserve will reward you for supporting these farmers along with us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe sourced this coffee through Ensambles, who do superlative work to shepherd this coffee from seed to our roastery. Here's a bit more info from them below:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe state of Guerrero is one of Mexico’s 16 coffee producing states, bordering Oaxaca and Puebla. In Guerrero, 80% of the territory are mountains and the main economic activity is agriculture. Coffee was first introduced by the Spanish along the coast in Sierra de Atoyac, and most of the labor force for picking coffee was brought over from the poorest areas of Guerrero - a region called Montaña Alta. Those workers, seed by seed, propagated their homes with coffee, bringing it in their pockets from the big plantations in Atoyac. The region is now characterized by the production of shade grown natural coffees. Guerrero almost only produces naturals, which is rare in Mexico, with more than 90% of total exported coffee being washed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNowadays, Montaña Alta suffers from high rates of poverty, marginalization and migration to the more northern states of Mexico, as well as the US, in search for work. In the face of a lack of opportunities, and the growing demand for narcotics in northern countries, a crack in the door was opened for drug trafficking to take over these vulnerable regions. This proliferation of narco-trafficking has unfortunately painted Guerrero in a very unfavorable light, the perception of which is exceedingly difficult to overcome. Because of this context, few companies have invested in the area with regards to the purchasing of coffee. Almost 100% of Guerrero coffee is bought, directly or indirectly, by one single private company, who then resells to a big international buyer. This monopoly has set very low prices for coffee and a general lack of interest from this crop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsambles Cafes Mexicanos began a project focused on specialty coffee in this area back in 2017, a project led by Miguel Guevara, an agronomist originally from Montaña Alta. Miguel has been working with producers to improve quality and help reach out to different markets. Miguel delivers training on selective picking, cherry flotation, and drying. He also supports the project by obtaining regional funds to finance nurseries, local warehouses, raised beds etc. The first producers to join this initiative were all women. Many women in this region are empowered to make decisions because their husbands are living farther north for work. Those women call themselves the “Evas,\" in reference to the first woman Eve. They decided to call the project JUBA, which means 'mountains' in their indigenous language Mephaa. Discontentment with low prices has allowed this project to grow rapidly, increasing from 5 to now 70 producers in 5 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnsambles now has a regional lab in Montaña Alta with analysts and cuppers where producers can come and bring their sample. We provide feedback and recommendations until their coffee qualifies for the specialty premium. Our criteria range from cup quality, humidity\/water activity, to yield. We are now able to employ and empower two women from the community to coordinate the lab and reach out to more producers across the region. \"Nahual\" means the ability to transform yourself into another being. We think it is a good analogy for the switch from commercial low paid coffee to quality better priced coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElevation: 1400 Meters above Sea Level\u003cbr\u003eVarietal: Oro Azteca\u003cbr\u003eCup score: 84.5\u003cbr\u003ePrice paid per kg: £9.70\u003cbr\u003eProcess: Grown biodynamically, then processed naturally on raised African beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- \/wp:paragraph --\u003e","brand":"Mexico","offers":[{"title":"250g \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":40100273422454,"sku":null,"price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground for Espresso (fine)","offer_id":41466051723382,"sku":"","price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground for Aeropress (medium fine)","offer_id":56385042579842,"sku":null,"price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground for Filter (medium coarse)","offer_id":40100273455222,"sku":null,"price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground for Cafetière (coarse)","offer_id":56141778616706,"sku":null,"price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":40100273487990,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground for Espresso (fine)","offer_id":41466051756150,"sku":"","price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground for Aeropress (medium fine)","offer_id":56385042612610,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground for Filter (medium coarse)","offer_id":40100273520758,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground for Cafetière (coarse)","offer_id":56141778649474,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9566\/1686\/files\/02915bdf-323c-4392-a567-559fc1f86591_1_1c96d159-fad5-4787-af99-e9ae9ef0229b.jpg?v=1689604623"},{"product_id":"colombia-galeras-decaf","title":"Colombia Galeras Decaf","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is an absolutely banging decaf.

It was nearing the end of the day for affordable and delicious decafs on the market, so we decided to get creative. Historically high green coffee prices and increased demand for decafs using the ethyl acetate (‘sugar cane’) process have caused supply shortages and MUCH higher costs, but we don’t think you should have to go without tasty decaf at reasonable prices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo here’s our strategy: We’re finding less expensive coffees that we think (based on our experience) will make for a sweet, chocolatey decaf. We’re sending them off to be decaffeinated as a special order and bringing them to you at prices that can work for all of us — farmers, cafes, Skylark, and coffee drinkers. With Twilight, you'll get reliably accessible coffee with satisfying notes of chocolate, biscuit, and cherry cola. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypically, importers make the choices and take the chances on which coffees to decaffeinate. It’s not always easy to predict how a decaffeinated coffee will turn out, and the minimum order for decaffeination is 4 tonnes, so it’s not usually a risk roasters want to take. However, we believe there are plenty of special yet affordable coffees out there that will taste great decaffeinated, so we’re willing to roll the dice. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRight now, Twilight is a washed processed coffee from our friends at Bette Buna in Guji Ethiopia. It was a very fresh crop ‘grade 4’ coffee when we got our hands on it, so the producers paid less for the sorting of the green coffee.

The Misfits folks have represented this all beautifully through a special pigeon sticker (designed by one of their crew) that will appear on each bag of coffee, a reminder of a worthy bird that is often more neglected and unloved than the iconic skylarks we usually sing about. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bit more about the coffee and Pride initiative from SUDUS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePride Coffee is grown at 1700-2100 meters above sea level on farms distinguished by their commitment to sustainable agriculture. The Colombia variety planted here adapts outstandingly to the microclimate's conditions – the altitude, humidity, and volcanic soils favor dense beans and a balanced, clean cup profile. This variety was selected for its valued resistance to pests, its yield, and its flavor quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this coffee special is not just its genetics, but the story of regeneration cultivated in every bean. On the farms, biochar, a plant-based charcoal, is applied to improve soil structure, retain nutrients and water, and contribute to carbon sequestration, reducing the environmental footprint. Floral corridors are also established to encourage the proliferation of pollinators, increasing biodiversity in the coffee landscapes. Thanks to these practices, the coffee plantations maintain their natural fertility, prevent erosion, and elevate the quality of the bean.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCare is constant between harvests. Productive branches are renewed and shoots are controlled. Shade is carefully managed with native trees, which helps maintain a stable temperature and promotes biodiversity. A balanced nutritional program is also applied, fostering the health of the plant and soil. All of this contributes to preparing vigorous coffee trees for the next flowering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe harvest is completely manual and selective: each bean is picked at its optimal point of ripeness, ensuring uniformity and quality. Thanks to the implementation of good agricultural and regenerative practices, production has shown sustained growth compared to the previous year, reflecting an increase in both volume and the consistency of bean quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe post-harvest process begins with a rigorous sorting of the harvested beans, separating defective ones to guarantee only the best raw material. Pulping is then performed to remove the outer skin of the bean, followed by a meticulous washing with clean water to eliminate any remaining mucilage. Fermentation is carried out under controlled temperature and time parameters to highlight the sensory attributes of the Colombia variety. After this process, the coffee is carefully dried in mechanical silos, achieving an ideal moisture level that preserves its qualities until it reaches the final consumer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond its physical quality, Pride Coffee represents a commitment to social transformation. It is a coffee born from an initiative dedicated to inclusive practices, opening spaces for empowerment for the rural LGBTI community, promoting dignified opportunities and visibility in a traditionally conservative sector. Every pound exported carries with it the story of resilience of those who cultivate with pride, dignity, and environmental consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElevation: 1840-2100 Metres Above Sea Level\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarietal: F8, Caturra, Castillo, Colombia\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCup Score: 84\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrice paid per kg: £10.80\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProcess: Washed\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colombia","offers":[{"title":"250g \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":56755268288898,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground for Espresso (fine)","offer_id":56755268321666,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground for Aeropress (medium fine)","offer_id":56755269108098,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground for Filter (medium coarse)","offer_id":56755268354434,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground for Cafetière (coarse)","offer_id":56755268387202,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":56755268419970,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground for Espresso (fine)","offer_id":56755268452738,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground for Aeropress (medium fine)","offer_id":56755269140866,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground for Filter (medium coarse)","offer_id":56755268485506,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground for Cafetière (coarse)","offer_id":56755268518274,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9566\/1686\/files\/IMG_7345.jpg?v=1784550675"},{"product_id":"brazil-isabela-lima-natural","title":"Brazil Isabela Lima Natural","description":"\u003cp\u003eIsabela Lima Reis placed on the podium with this coffee in the regional competition our co-founder Micah had the honour to help judge.
