Vinka is a specialty coffee farm placed in the southern Ecuadorian Andes, where the cloud forest meets the dry montane shrubland. This unique confluence of ecosystems creates a microclimate with dynamic shifts between wet and dry air throughout the day, providing an ideal environment for cultivating the Sidra varietal. Through soil restoration and biodiversity enhancement, Vinka has improved soil functionality, ensuring coffee quality while demonstrating how sustainable management and conservation practices can support an eco-friendly monoculture of coffee plants. We were lucky enough to visit Maria and her partner Carlos in the summer of 2024 with our good friends Ramiro and Fabricio Coronel of Hacienda La Florida. We taste cherry jam, sweet pie pastry, vanilla icing, rose syrup, and clementine zest.


• Natural Process: After 72-hour solid-phase fermentation, the cherries were left intact, without depulping, and dried directly on raised beds.

Post-drying, both parchment and dried cherries were stored for one month to stabilize water activity, ensuring consistent quality during cupping and brewing."
