Colombia Sidra Natural

The Coffee industry seems be changing at a breakneck speed and it can be hard to keep up! This is definitely true at the coffee farm. The Sidra varietal burst into the coffee world when it was used by the winning World Barista Champion 2019, Jooyeon Jeon, in her winning routine. Now I am lucky to have some to offer to you and if you're lucky you will be able to buy some before I run out.  

I find it a fun and interesting coffee to drink. Every cup I have made (mostly through a Hario v60) shows different flavors and nuances. It is not like any other coffee out there. If you want to try a rare and cutting edge coffee, then order a bag or two of Sidra.

l 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, blueberry, and vanilla notes. The explosive acidity is evocative of juicy peaches soaked in syrup, adding to a complex cup profile that finishes with a prolonged red fruit aftertaste.

Colombia Huila Green Coffee Beans

The Huila region is always a favorite when it comes to Colombian coffee. In addition to high-quality – and often award-winning – green coffee beans, Huila is also celebrated for its distinctly delicate cup profile that features bright acidity, sweetness, and a fragrant aroma.

As Colombia’s largest specialty coffee-producing department, Huila’s nutrient-rich volcanic soil bears highly anticipated unroasted coffee each year for the global market. Most Colombian coffee farmers are smallholders. Over half a million farmers collectively contribute around 16% of the country’s agricultural GDP. Read more in our Colombia Origin Report.
