Do you know what the Cider variety is and why it has such an impact on the industry?

-

The Sidra variety is one of the most highly valued in specialty coffee due to its exceptional sensory profile. 

It is believed to come from a natural cross between Bourbon and Typica. Its origin is Ecuadorian, although it is also grown in other countries such as Colombia.

It is famous for its bright acidity, silky body and complex notes that include citrus fruits such as orange and Tangerine, red fruits, honey and peach. Its quality has led it to stand out in barista competitions and international auctions, reaching very high prices.

Its production is limited and demanding, as it is not a high-yielding variety and requires specific care. Its combination of rarity, exceptional flavor and market demand has made it one of the most exclusive varieties of specialty coffee.
