Ecuador Coffee Sidra Variety Finca La Reserva

THE DETAILS

Varietal: Sidra
Process: Washed

Finca La Reserva is located in the Zamora Chinchipe province of Ecuador, and is run by associates Richard Granda and Marlon Quevedo. They started this journey about four years ago, aiming to grow exclusive and exotic varieties and we’re so glad that they did.

This washed coffee Sidra variety is reflective of their quest to place Finca La Reserva on the map for high quality specialty coffees with a strict focus on quality and immaculate attention to processing.

Their washed process is a little different, in that they do a 48 hour dry fermentation with the seeds in the cherry, before de-pulping them and then fermenting them in water for another 24 hours to remove the mucilage. They are then dried on raised African beds for up to 28 days, constantly moving them to ensure uniform drying.
