This premium washed Sidra has distinctive aroma and character. We get red forest berries, apples, lemon verbena, and mandarin orange.
This Sidra lot from Dona Blanca's farm exemplifies her prowess in coffee cultivation. The farm itself is a living testament to biodiversity and sustainable agriculture. Spanning 30 hectares: the farm roughly allocates 50% to Geisha, 20% to Ají Bourbon, 20% to Bourbon, and a small but significant 1% to Cidra.
Their land is not just a coffee farm but a thriving ecosystem. In addition to coffee, they grow a diverse range of fruits like oranges, avocados, citrus, bananas, and plantains. This rich biodiversity enriches the soil and provides a sanctuary for local wildlife, and presents a sustainable farming model that harmonizes with coffee cultivation, amplifying the farm's environmental stewardship and commitment to sustainable practices.

11-11.5%
All our roasted coffees are run through an AI-powered optical sorter. This extra step ensures that you receive only the most nutrient-dense, flavorful coffees from each lot. The machine is also capable of removing any foreign objects (corn, metals, rope, to name a few) from the rest of the coffees.
The higher the percentage, the more coffee is being removed in order to achieve a truly pristine product. We liken this to how sake-makers "polish" during production in order to reach a higher-quality product.
Nothing goes to waste: the rejected coffees are re-roasted and sold to local markets.
