If you have been enjoying our coffees, you are no stranger to Frank Torres, from whom we have been bringing coffees of many different varieties and processes.
We have brought in a pair of coffees, same farm, same variety, but processed differently, to allow for a side-by-side comparison, the significance and impact of processing on our final cup. If you have wondered how the processing plays into the character of a coffee, we hope to provide that opportunity for you to experience it firsthand!
The value of studying the two different processes with a Sidra variety, is that the variety itself embodies high complexity and sweetness, a wealth of pleasant qualities and potentials (making it a well-loved and sought-after variety in coffee competitions), that can shine and present themselves in such different ways even though you can find a unique resemblance... like siblings and even twins!
In this first part of the Twin coffees - the Washed Sidra, you will find notes of white/green floral & fruit, with a distinct blueberry, with a lighter weight and clean finish. its counterpart twin - the Natural Sidra will showcase lots of red fruit notes reminding you of fresh strawberry, accompanied by sweet vanilla cream and peach flavours, presented in a heavier, syrupy body.
