Yambamine, literally “land of gold”, is a farm in Ecuador close to the Peruvian border. The farm is run by Diana Velez and her son Renee, who does all the processing himself, together with their microbiologist Marco. The farm is famed for its lab, its innovative ways and its fully organic practices. We’re happy to release this Sidra from Yambamine for the second consecutive year already, not in the least because our former colleague Billy recently visited them during this season’s harvest! This Sidra is an anaerobic or ‘red’ washed coffee. First, the cherries are placed inside tanks to oxidise for 5 days. Then, they’re depulped and partially washed, with some mucilage (‘red’) still attached to the beans. The coffee then goes into sealed tanks for another 5 days, and CO2 is added to them. The coffee is then laid to dry on African beds until the desired humidity is reached.
