Variety ´Sidra´

Sidra is one of the lesser grown Arabica varieties, but received a lot of attention by remarkable cup qualitie scores from cherries grown and harvested at high altitudes (above 1700MSL). It is believed that the Sidra variety originated in Ecuador, but yet not fully defined how it is originated. Initially reported as a crossbreed of Typica with Bourbon, more recent testing found genetical similarities to Ethiopian heirloom varieties; wild or genetically unidentified varieties native to Ethiopia. Generally speaking Sidra 's flavor profile can be characterized by floral and fruity notes with high levels of sweetness
