About this Product
About the Producer
When we first received this coffee, it was labelled as a Mundo Novo varietal - a small joke from Herbert. The seedlings that were given to him were spoken about being a hybrid of Bourbon and Typica cultivars, which is commonly known as Mundo Novo. Though Sidra, is also thought to be a hybrid of those two varietals.
LaREB (La Real Expedición Botánica) is a collective of coffee farmers coming together to create not just incredible coffees, but to de-colonise their own supply chain and pave their own path in the industry. This is a quality-driven group dedicated to bringing the best out of already good coffees, focusing on diverse processing protocols.
LaREB has already established direct relationships with several specialty roasters, and is providing consistent offerings from the same producers over time, with dynamic profiles. 575 is the latest project from co-founder of LaREB, Herbert Peñaloza. 575 is named after the co-ordinates of the farm’s location, situated in Palocabildo, northern Tolima, in an area that offers a high altitude for growing, ideal sun exposure and healthy terroir.
The farm started as a coffee roasting business, using their crop to roast and sell to the National Federation of Coffee Growers of Colombia, and the Colombia commodity market. Herbert learnt through coffee roasting that the quality needed to improve after being rejected by the international market. After some extensive trial and error behind the machine, he became aware of the quality of his coffee by tweaking the roast profile that was suited for these varietals, which in turn, inspired him to start the green side of the business, helping roasters along the way through experience of how their coffees should be approached.
Sidra has been making noise in the industry over the last few years due to its complex and floral cup profile, similar to that of a Geisha varietal. We're getting a deliciously sweet, balanced and boozy cup.
