Sydra - Oxidation Washed Process

Ecuador

This is the first release for Syoxidator, which stands for Sydra Oxidator. If you're familiar with Pepe Jijon or us, you've likely seen or tried Tyoxidator, which is Pepe's signature oxidation washing process. It's renowned as a terroir boosting process, and has always been impressive and exceptional with his Typica Mejorado, or Tyoxidator. This time, he tried it with his farm's favorite cultivar, Sydra. To their delight, this process reflected the longer maturing time for this harvest's Sydra, and surprised everyone with an incredibly rich body and even more vibrant flavors than expected.

In the cup we find bright fruity notes of clementine and ginger ale, with a spicy honeysuckle florality, and a sweet melon finish.
