This special Sidra varietal was grown in Bruselas, Pitalito, in southern Huila, Colombia, where the Central and Eastern Andes meet. The region is celebrated for its diverse microclimates, breathtaking landscapes, and exceptional specialty coffees.
Finca Buenos Aires, owned and managed by third-generation producer Jonathan Delgado, sits amid these stunning surroundings. The farm’s name reflects its beautiful mountain views and lush natural setting. A portion of the 12-hectare estate is dedicated to this carefully cultivated Sidra varietal.
Sidra, a natural hybrid originating in Ecuador, combines the dense sweetness of Red Bourbon with the bright acidity of Typica. It is known for its refined balance, elegant sweetness, and clean, crisp finish. Qualities that have made it one of the most sought-after varietals in specialty coffee today.
For this lot, only the ripest cherries are handpicked and undergo a meticulous fermentation process. The cherries are first oxidised, washed with cold water to enhance flavour clarity, and then sealed for controlled anaerobic fermentation with selected yeast strains. Afterward, they are carefully dried using both mechanical and sun-drying methods before being sorted and rested to ensure optimal flavour development.
