Fellow's Take on Estellar Sidra Valoria | Brew Recipe

Here's how we brewed this rare coffee variety from Estellar, a uniquely selective roaster.

Estellar founder Alejandra exclusively sources from Colombia in tribute to her family’s heritage and her coffees stand out for their flawless execution, fueled by personal visits to the farms. This coffee is the rare and coveted Sidra variety, known for its high cup quality, vibrant flavors, and natural sweetness. We tasted passionfruit, lychee, and honeysuckle.
