Sidra

What makes this coffee different

Sidra is one of the most distinctive coffees in the Valle Andino range. Grown at high altitude in Loja, this varietal is known for its expressive flavour and layered complexity. It stands out because of how clearly it shows fruit character while remaining clean and structured in the cup. This is not a subtle coffee. It is designed to be noticed.

Tasting notes

• Tropical fruit notes such as pineapple and mango
• Light floral undertones
• Smooth caramel sweetness
• Bright, lively acidity with a clean finish

Who this coffee is for

Sidra is well suited to coffee drinkers who enjoy vibrant, fruit forward profiles and like exploring flavours beyond traditional chocolate and nut notes. If you enjoy coffees that feel lively and slightly unexpected, this is a strong choice. It also appeals to experienced drinkers looking for something expressive without moving into overly fermented or heavy profiles.

How it compares to the others

Sidra sits at the most expressive end of the Valle Andino lineup.
• It is brighter and more fruit driven than Native Típica, which focuses on balance and smoothness.
• It is bolder and more tropical than Geisha, which is more floral and delicate.
• Compared to Típica Mejorado, Sidra delivers more intensity and a clearer fruit profile.

Best brew methods

Sidra performs best when brewed in ways that highlight clarity and acidity.
• Pour over methods bring out tropical fruit and floral notes clearly.
• Aeropress works well for a slightly fuller body while maintaining brightness.
• Espresso can be used for adventurous drinkers, but careful dialing in is recommended to preserve balance.
