Colombia - Sidra

This rare, excellent cider comes from Wilder Lazo's family-run Bella Alejandira farm. Located in one of Colombia's best coffee-growing regions, the entire family passionately produces exclusive coffee varieties that undergo particularly innovative post-harvest processing. The fertile soils, the exceptional microclimate, the specialized cultivation and processing techniques, coupled with decades of experience in cultivating rare coffee varieties, make this coffee a true delight. Exciting notes of Szechuan pepper, fruity apricot sweetness, and a green tea aftertaste characterize this coffee. A taste experience that demonstrates how diverse coffee can be with expertise.

This exquisite Sidra lot was processed as a White Honey (semi-dry). This process involves first sorting out coffee cherries that are not 100% ripe and floating in water. Only the best cherries are then fermented for 60 hours in GrainPro bags. After this initial fermentation, the coffee cherries are pulped and then fermented anaerobically for 100 hours. The coffee beans are then lightly washed to retain a small amount of mucilage (white honey). Depending on the amount of mucilage left on the coffee beans, it is also referred to as Yellow, Red, or Black Honey. Finally, the coffee is dried in direct sunlight for 15 days and stored overnight until the desired moisture content of 10.5% is reached.

The uniqueness of this rare coffee is underlined by a beautiful picture by the artist Daniel Domig .
