{"product_id":"ecuador-pichincha-sidra-honey","title":"Ecuador Pichincha Sidra Honey","description":"\u003cp\u003eEcuador coffee is a rarity. They ship out 400,000 pounds a year which sounds like a lot, but when you think about 50 million pounds a year out of Brazil and 15 million pounds a year out of Colombia, you understand Ecuador is just a speck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePichincha is a region in the North-Central part of the country, and this coffee was grown on a tiny farm called Finca san Pablo and owned by a man named Pablo Ponce. The beans are all the Sidra varietal, which is a varietal currently unique to Ecuador -- a cross of Typica and Bourbon famous for its floral notes. The coffee was grown at roughly 4000 feet above sea level. Being the Sidra varietal makes it command a premium, as there are a lot of roasters looking for this. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is best as a light roast coffee. It's not hard to roast -- there's a pretty good range of roasting profiles and ending temperatures that work with this bean. Our favorite roast is barely out of first cracks where we get a sweet, honey-like flavor with floral and delicate fruit. Clean aftertaste. Almost geisha-like. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's fun to have a coffee from Ecuador, and this is an above average bean from a rarely seen origin. His family helps pick, process and ship this coffee. I would particularly recommend it to customers who enjoy high-end Central American coffees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUS Arrival May 2025\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"happymugcoffee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50967198007583,"sku":null,"price":12.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/8548\/8472\/products\/821.jpg?v=1738611696","url":"https:\/\/happymugcoffee.mom\/products\/ecuador-pichincha-sidra-honey","provider":"Happy Mug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
