#126 Natural-Processed Sidra Coffee Beans from Colombia

From the importer:

El Diviso Natural Sidra Varietal

In the south of Huila, Jose Uribe Lasso founded Finca El Diviso as a way to discover new methods of improving Colombia coffee quality. The Lasso family rigorously experiments with processing and fermentation with different microorganisms in hopes of achieving unique, traceable cup profiles with international recognition. El Diviso is high up in Pitalito at 1,750masl. Here, the Lasso family cultivates Pink and Yellow Bourbon, Sidra, Geisha, and Tabi varietals.

Sidra, also sometimes referred to as Sydra or Bourbon Sidra, is a rare Arabica varietal that has shared the spotlight on the world stage with highly coveted exotics like Geisha and Sudan Rume. However, its origins aren’t well-documented and attempts to decipher its genetics have led to contrasting results. Many agree that Sidra was first developed in Ecuador and shares a sweet cup profile comparable to Ethiopian landrace varietals.

What does Sidra coffee taste like?
Natural processing highlights Sidra’s fruity character, and this Sidra Colombia green coffee from El Diviso is bursting with tropical fruit, raspberry, and floral notes. The impact is a refreshing, yet complex cup profile that finishes with a prolonged fruit.
