Familia Ortega Gomez Sidra

Description

Sidra is a hybrid of two heirloom Arabica varieties – Typica and Bourbon – that was originally cultivated in Ecuador. It harmoniously melds the stereotypical characteristics of each parent variety. It’s weighted with a dense and complex sweetness, like Bourbon; yet boasts vibrant citrus and floral notes, like Typica. As Esnaider explains, though it’s much more susceptible to disease and difficult to grow, the resulting flavors are explosive and dynamic. We’re tasting: fruit punch, grape, raspberry, citrus zest, rose, hibiscus, ginger, baking spice, honey, cane sugar, black tea, chocolate.
