Wilton Benitez has been a very popular producer and renowned coffee innovator.
Wilton also happens to hold the incredible world record of having the longest ever coffee fermentation process (a whopping 1440hrs).
The Sidra varietal Sidra aka Sydra or Bourbon Sidra is a lesser known varietal that has recently featured in Anthony Douglas's WBC Routine. It has been reported that Sidra was first produced by crossbreeding both Typica and Bourbon varieties however some believe that Sidra is more representative of Ethiopian heirloom coffees.
The World Coffee Research said it is possible that the Sidra varietal does not have a transparent genetic identity. Instead, Sidra may even be a few different varieties that farmers refer to as under the same name (not uncommon for this to happen).
IT STARTS WITH THE BEANS
No matter how good your grinder, coffee machine or kettle is if you don't have high quality coffee beans you aren't going to have a good tasting coffee.
COMMON COFFEE PROCESSES
-
WASHED PROCESS
TRY A WASHED COFFEEWashed coffees (aka wet process) use water to remove the coffee seed from the cherry. This has the least amount of contact with the fruit and has a clean and often creamy taste. Washed coffees are commonly known to carry more flavours from the origin, terroir and variety rather than the processing flavours.
-
NATURAL PROCESS
TRY A NATURAL COFFEENatural coffees were popularised by producing countries that did not have as much access to water, this processing technique has since been adopted all over the world and tends to carry through a rich fruity flavour from the extended contact with the coffee cherries,
-
FERMENTED
TRY A FERMENTED COFFEEThere are many coffees that fall into this third category of coffee processing, the most popular being Anaerobic fermentation and Carbonic Fermentation (CM).
Expect funky fruity notes and an intense alcohol / boozey taste
