Vinka Sidra is a Sidra-variety coffee from Vinka Farm in the Masanamaca area of Loja, Ecuador, grown at approximately 1660 m. Managed by María Fernanda Tapia and Carlos Iñiguez, this Gesha-grade lot is natural processed. It offers bright, elegant acidity with juicy, fruity notes of apple juice, carambola (starfruit) and peach, balanced by brown sugar sweetness; presented in a light roast with a delicate, layered body.
Oasis Coffee Roasters is a Taipei specialty roastery founded by Yu-ta Chu, who ditched a film industry career after a genuinely life-changing sip of Tim Wendelboe’s coffee in 2015. Since 2018, Oasis has been roasting with a very Nordic-leaning mindset, focusing on clarity, balance, and letting high-quality green coffee speak for itself. Their lineup is built around seasonal single origins, microlots, and carefully developed blends, with transparent sourcing and clear flavour intent. The roasting style stays clean and precise rather than loud or roasty, working especially well for filter and modern espresso. We tasted a selection of their coffees at their cafe in Taipei and just knew we had to feature them here.
