Vivid, candy-sweet, and deeply expressive. In the cup: cotton candy, Shine Muscat grape, florals, and kiwi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Merino family farm Lugmapata in Pallatanga — a region in the province of Chimborazo in central Ecuador, distinct from the more established Loja and Saraguro growing areas but sharing the cool Andean climate and volcanic soil conditions that allow Ecuador's finest specialty lots to develop their characteristic aromatic intensity and sweetness. Sidra, cultivated with care at altitude in these conditions, delivers the vivid candy sweetness and floral complexity that have made it one of the most sought-after varietals in Ecuadorian specialty coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSidra is a variety primarily grown in Colombia and Ecuador — whether a Bourbon-Typica cross or an expression of Ethiopian Landrace remains a subject of ongoing genetic research, but its distinctive aromatic profile, vibrant acidity, and candy-like sweetness at altitude are well established. In the Merino family's hands at Lugmapata, the clean washed process reveals its fullest and most expressive character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Washed process at Lugmapata involves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🍒 Hand-picking — Sidra cherries selectively harvested at peak ripeness 🔧 Depulping — Outer skin removed before fermentation 🧪 Fermentation — Beans fermented to break down remaining mucilage 💧 Washing — Thoroughly washed after fermentation to remove all residue ☀️ Drying — Dried to optimal moisture content\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe meticulous washed processing is the defining step — by stripping back all fruit influence, the process allows Lugmapata's Sidra to express its inherent cotton candy sweetness, Shine Muscat grape character, and kiwi brightness with the clean, vivid clarity that defines this lot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA vivid, candy-sweet, and beautifully expressive washed Sidra from one of Ecuador's most promising family farms — cotton candy sweetness, Shine Muscat grape vibrancy, a delicate florality, and a bright kiwi finish in a clean, well-defined cup.
