SIDEKICK ESPRESSO Guatemala Raíces, Nicaragua, WashedWashed processThe fruit is removed from the seed before drying, usually with fermentation and a water rinse. Tends to give clean, transparent cups where origin character shows clearly. Ethiopia Limu Importers: • Guatemala Raíces – Onyx Coffee Importers • Nicaragua – Collaborative Origins / Roam • Ethiopia Limu – Crop to Cup Process: Fully Washed Elevation: 1800–2200 masl VarietyVariety (cultivar)The botanical subtype of the coffee plant — Gesha, Bourbon, SL28 — analogous to grape varieties in wine. A major driver of cup character alongside origin and process.: BourbonBourbonOne of the two foundational arabica varieties (with Typica), named after Île Bourbon (Réunion). Sweet, balanced, caramel-leaning; parent of countless modern cultivars., CaturraCaturraA natural dwarf mutation of Bourbon found in Brazil: compact plants, easier picking, bright and clean cup. A workhorse across Latin America., HeirloomHeirloom (Ethiopia)A catch-all label for Ethiopia's thousands of indigenous, largely uncatalogued coffee varieties — used when a lot's exact genetics are unknown. Traceable to: Huehuetenango, Guatemala • Madriz, Nicaragua • Limu, Ethiopia Guatemala Raíces contributes chocolate depth and structure from high-elevation Huehuetenango farms. Nicaragua adds a round, nutty sweetness from traditional washed processing and slow, careful drying. The Ethiopia Limu component brings a clean lift—floral aromatics and bright, sweet citrus from carefully managed raised-bed drying. Sidekick is built for reliability and versatility: sweet, balanced espresso that holds up beautifully in milk.
