This particular lot is a Sidra variety - a somewhat elusive coffee variety known for its high cup value that has been compared to the Geisha variety and genetically linked to Ethiopia heirloom varieties. This special variety coupled with Benitez's attention to detail and unique processing style, creates a masterful, complex cup of coffee that is is ine to remember.

A chemical engineer turned high-end coffee grower, Wilton Benitez is at the forefront of innovation in coffee processing. Through fermentation technology and strict processing protocols, he is discovering endless possibilities for enhancing and highlighting the unique and special characteristics of his carefully cultivated coffees. Processing of this particular Sidra lot started with sterilising selectively harvested ripe coffee cherries with ozone gas and ultraviolet light. The coffee cherry was then pulped and fermented in an anaerobic bioreactor where specific yeast strains were added. The coffee was fermented for 36 hours, washed, and then taken to ecological drying equipment designed by Benitez himself.
