It has been remarkable to see the diversification of varieties cultivated in the Huila region over the last few years. Sidra is still rare in Colombia, but exploring different varieties has been instrumental in the elevated quality we have seen from these talented producers. In the cup we find soft botanicals, nectarine, and wildflower honey.

ABOUT LIZETH SAMBONI
This is a new coffee from our continued exploration of Huila. Sidra remains relatively rare in Colombia, though it is beginning to appear as producers diversify their varietals. We believe supporting these efforts plays a meaningful role in the increased quality we have seen across Huila in recent years.
ABOUT SIDRA
While its exact germ line is unknown, the variety colloquially known as Sidra in Ecuador—and now cultivated in many coffee-growing countries around the world—is understood to be an Ethiopian Landrace. Ethiopia is widely acknowledged as the geographic origin of coffee and is home to extraordinary genetic diversity, with DNA testing identifying more than 60 distinct varieties. How these varieties made their way from Ethiopia to other parts of the world remains the subject of ongoing research and debate. As climate change makes coffee increasingly difficult to cultivate, Ethiopian Landrace germ lines are also playing an important role in the development of new varieties and hybrids.

The cost of getting a coffee from cherry to beverage varies enormously depending on its place of origin and the location of its consumption. The inclusion of price transparency is a starting point to inform broader conversation around the true costs of production and the sustainability of specialty coffee as a whole.
