Friedhats - Colombia Potosi Sidra Natural Omni - Omni - (Colombia, Natural, Sidra)

Great trees are often the focal point of great stories, think Newton, think of the Buddha; this Sidra variety is sort of like that – a bit – depends how much you love delicious coffees. The Sidra variety was developed in Ecuador by a private company, taking its name from the tree it was propagated under. This hybrid coffee is a cross mutation between Red Bourbon and Typica; these two varieties are never the top of our list when going through the yummiest, most delectable, or exciting varieties but when they come together it’s like heaven on a round silver spoon.

The Sidra of Cafe Granja la Esperanza is grown at 1400 – 2000 masl, and a temperature controlled fermentation over 48 hours brings a higher concentration of sugars with intense, complex notes. The Potosi farm also holds the Yirgacheffe, and XO varieties. We have both of these. All of these coffees are good.

Notes of mint, blackberry jam and guava fill the palate here and the intensity of flavour is what drew us in.
