The story from the farm

Tolima – La Gallera
🏆We are the Champions, my Sidra 🥇
La Gallera farm has been a good friend of ours for quite a long time,

• the fifth- generation farm owner Oscar Javier Paez inherited the farm from his brother who was passed away during a robbery in his house.
• Young Oscar has to take care of the coffee farm since then.
• Luckily, he has been receiving many helps from neighbours, which is definitely a blessing in disguise for him.
• From harvest to processing, he has also learned a lot of skills from his neighbours too.
• Now that Oscar has a family, together with his wife Adelaida Aroca, they are raising three children.
• The passion for coffee has been driving the family to keep up their work in the field, and their effort has been paid off.
• With their unique and high-quality coffee beans, they were able to sell their coffee at a better price,
• so that they could improve their life standard by building a better house instead of living in a ranch made of damaged wood.
  

  Sidra, a variety coming from cross breeding of Bourbon and Typica, was first discovered in Ecuador.

• It was until 2019 World Coffee Competition Champion, people have started noticing this special variety.
• In the 2022 World Coffee Competition (WCC) which has just ended recently,
• Sidra has once again won the championship! Combining the sweetness from Bourbon and beautiful aroma from Typica,
• the complex and charming flavour of Sidra has often been compared with Geisha.
• Sidra producing from Colombia are really astonishing in recent years, different processing brings out very different cup profiles,
• indicating the huge potential of this varietal. Same as the other special varieties,
• Sidra needs a lot of care to grow and therefore production capacity is limited.
• And when the demand becomes greater, the price goes up.

        Sidra in La Gallera would carry out 48 hours of oxidation within an open system first,

then they were depulped and fermented for 24 hours.

• Drying process was done under the sun on canopies which they called “Marquesina” for 15-20 days.
• Both washed and honey processed Sidra are with excellent refreshing floral aroma and citrus, plum-like bright juicy acidity.
• Washed brings a very clean cup while the honey one has a richer fruity sweetness and a hint of green tea finishing. In our experience,
• La Gallera Sidra has always been a shining star on cupping table, people just can’t help falling in love with it!
• 🤩 (Just a friendly reminder…Make sure to get yourself some Sidra before the price shot up like a rocket!!)
