The Sidra variety is a captivating and exotic addition to the world of specialty coffee. Although its precise origins remain somewhat unclear, research conducted by World Coffee Research suggests that Sidra shares genetic similarities with Ethiopian Landrace varieties. It is widely believed that Sidra was developed in Ecuador by a private organization, with some sources attributing its creation to Nestlé, which reportedly hybridized Ethiopian and Bourbon varieties to produce this unique cultivar.
