Variety CafExporto Sidra – The Expression of Complexity In Ecuador’s high mountain valleys, where clouds drift across the ridges of Hacienda La Papaya, Yunguilla, and Yacuri, a singular variety unfolds with rare precision — Sidra. Elegant, tropical, and deeply aromatic, Sidra has emerged as one of Ecuador’s most captivating coffees. At CafExporto, it represents the meeting point of genetics, terroir, and human discipline — a coffee that embodies both scientific achievement and natural poetry. Sidra is a variety unique to Ecuador. Developed through years of careful selection and observation, it is a hybrid of Bourbon and Typica, with subtle traces of Ethiopian landrace genetics, responsible for its floral and tropical fruit character. Bourbon lineage contributes body, sweetness, and warmth Typica heritage adds clarity and refined acidity Ethiopian influence brings jasmine, mango, and citrus notes The result is a variety that is both expressive and precise. Each lot is calibrated for ideal roast performance, with balanced density and stable moisture, allowing roasters to express Sidra’s tropical and floral depth at any roast degree.
