Flavor Profile of Ecuador Clara Luz Estate Washed Bourbon Sidra Coffee Beans - Variety Characteristics
The Rise of Sidra Coffee
At the 2019 World Barista Championship, Korean barista Jooyen Jeon used Sidra coffee beans from Ecuador to defeat numerous Geisha varieties and win the world championship. As a result, "Sidra" coffee beans began to attract widespread attention.
Then in 2022, Anthony Douglas also used Sidra coffee beans to win the World Barista Championship. This made everyone even more curious about what exactly this coffee bean variety is.
FrontStreet Coffee's investigation revealed that Sidra is a coffee variety developed in the 1990s when Ecuador's coffee research center crossbred introduced Typica with local Red Bourbon. Due to its excellent flavor performance, small-scale commercial cultivation began for research purposes. The Sidra coffee beans used by Jooyen Jeon came from one of these commercial coffee farms—Clara Luz.
Clara Luz Estate
Clara Luz Estate was established in 2014, located in the highlands of the Loja region, surrounded by two rivers. With its mild and pleasant climate and rich ecosystem, it is highly suitable for coffee cultivation. The estate won second place in the 2018 Ecuador Coffee Competition.
About Sidra Coffee
Sidra coffee is not common worldwide but is one of the main coffee varieties cultivated in Ecuador. It only gradually became well-known after being selected by baristas for competitions in recent years. At the 2019 World Barista Championship, Sidra defeated many Geisha varieties to help the Korean contestant win the world championship. There's no denying that this is an exceptionally flavored coffee variety. Recent research shows that Sidra shares characteristics with Ethiopian native varieties similar to Geisha. Therefore, some scholars believe that Sidra coffee is the result of crossbreeding between Ethiopian native varieties and local Bourbon.
Sidra coffee exhibits exceptionally excellent flavor in cupping. Its moderate acidity, notes of red apple, apricot, and jam-like sweetness make it highly appealing.
