Summary

Ecuadorian washed Sidra coffee from producers Fausto Romo (La Carolina farm) and Marco Morocho (La Fortaleza farm) in the Pichincha region, grown at 1310-1350 metres above sea level. The variety is Bourbon Sidra, a rare Arabica hybrid believed to be a cross between Bourbon and Typica. The cup profile features bright aromas of elderflower, juicy sweetness reminiscent of orange, and a medium body reminiscent of Earl Grey tea. Both producers work with Caravela for farm management support and quality improvement. Filter brews highlight the floral side, but the coffee is versatile across brewing methods.
