Process-led

Processing changes everything.

The same origin can become clean and bright, winey and fruit-forward, sweet and layered, or bold and full-bodied. This collection is built around process, so what you taste maps cleanly to how the coffee was made.

Anaerobic Natural

The whole cherries ferment for 60 hours in sealed tanks at about 18 °C, then dry slowly in the fruit. The fruit gives sweetness and a creamy body.

Cultured Anaerobic Advanced

The cherries are cleaned, given 30 seconds in 90 °C water and pulped. The beans then ferment for 96 hours in a sealed tank with a selected culture, while the farm checks the sugar and acidity. Dried slowly at 38 °C.

Thermal Shock Natural

A bath in 90 °C water brings out the sweetness of the cherries. They then ferment whole for 62 hours with a selected culture at 20 °C, and dry for 88 hours at 40 °C.

Three Stage Natural

48 hours with oxygen for brighter acidity, 36 hours sealed for sweetness and a syrupy body, then 24 hours submerged in liquid saved from earlier Sidra fermentations. Dried in the fruit.

Roasted to order

Small batches. Colour sorted. Clearer in the cup.

Roasted in small batches in Rotterdam.

After roasting, each batch is colour sorted to remove visual defects. The result is a cleaner, more consistent cup that keeps the character of the origin.

You receive coffee that is fresh by definition, not by promise.
