FARM
Quebraditas Coffee Farm, is a family-run project focused on producing specialty coffees with unique and distinctive flavour profiles. These qualities are achieved through our fermentation processes, including thermal shock and yeast inoculation. In addition, they implement agronomic practices centred on soil care, such as strategic shading, the use of organic matter, and maintaining proper pH through amendments and lime treatments, which allow them to enhance cup quality right from the cultivation stage.

SIDRA VARIETAL
Sidra has been a popular and unique coffee for a reason. Said to have originate in Ecuador and thought to be a cross between Red Bourbon and Typica. This breed has a very floral forward profile, and is genetically similar to Ethiopian Heirloom varietals. Prized for it's intense sweetness and crisp acidity and florals, it is often compared to Geisha.
We suggest letting the coffee rest for 2-3wks.
