Sidra Bourbon Natural - Huila

Grade Excelso

Grown in the Palestina municipality of Huila in Colombia, this Sidra Bourbon Natural Green coffee comes from the award-winning Finca San Rafael. Managed by Don Linarco Rodriguez, a third-generation grower and supported by the CADEFIHUILA Coop. At 1,710 masl, under shade trees and native forest, his family has been growing coffee for over 50 years, and in the past decade, they’ve focused on rare varietals to compete in the Cup of Excellence—earning second place in 2021.

This natural coffee is fermented in sealed barrels for 90-hours, then dried slowly in marquesinas for 28 days with a 15-day stabilization period. The result is a fruit-forward profile with mango and raspberry acidity, a silky mouthfeel, and sweet notes of milk chocolate, brown sugar, and candied orange. Its medium body and citric acidity are well balanced, with a lingering sweet finish—perfect for filter and espresso-based brews.

Available in 70kg bags with Grain-Pro packaging for maximum freshness, this Sidra is ideal for roasters seeking standout fruit-driven Colombian naturals with depth and clarity. Each cup reflects the experience, dedication and deep understanding of coffee.
