The Roasters
Skylark coffee is 100% not for profit, donating £1 per kilo to support both the environment and the people long exploited by coffee supply chains. Headed up by Micah Sherer (Head Roaster and Buyer) Skylark is based near Brighton, and supports a handful of local charities including Knepp Wildland Foundation, who is a key environmental charity in the Southeast leading the way on rewilding, conservation and climate change. We love their transparent and honest business model, and are pumped to work with them this month!

The Coffee
We tasted a handful of Skylark's coffees but were blown away by this community coffee - a natural coffee that is traditionally overlooked when considering Ethiopian coffees. Micah has carefully sourced this from working directly with farmers in Africa and was really impressed by how it scored against other Single Origins. We know not everyone likes a naturally processed coffee (it can taste a bit funky for some) but we'd love to know what you think of this one and hope you love it as much as we do!
