Colombia - Sidra Variety Nano-lot - Single Origin
Sidra, like Gesha, comes with a host of expectations in the cup, and this lot meets every one!
the coffee
Monkaaba is a smallholder coffee grower empowerment initiative based in San Agustin, Colombia, and led by coffee producer, Esnaider Ortega Gomez and select other growers who have worked for many years to sell their coffee as specialty. They have, in recent years, begun to feel that they would like to develop more autonomy over the coffee production as well as involvement in its marketing and sales. Monkaaba’s goal then is to assist other growers in the area to not only find a better market for their coffee, one that pays a solid price, but also to invest in the knowledge and skill of producers in a way that ensures their future success.
Sidra, a relatively new variety to Specialty Coffee, like the variety, Gesha, has its roots in Ethiopian lineage. It is genetically different from Gesha, and carries a different flavour profile. It is incredibly juicy and delicate, but this expression of it has a spicy, almost clove and cardamom note, which makes it super distinct.
This nano-lot of coffee is a blend of Sidra pickings from many of the Monkaaba group members, who didn't harvest enough to sell on their own. We're excited to be featuring this exceptional and special coffee!
