About the bean

First Class is the premium product line at Terminal 3 Roasters, placed above Business Class. We are excited to feature this exceptional bean from El Vergel Estate in Colombia as part of our First Class collection.

This Sidra lot from El Vergel Estate isn’t new to the spotlight — in fact, the variety recently made waves as a finalist in the 2025 U.S. Barista Championship. But the story of this coffee starts long before the competition stage.

Nestled in the lush landscapes of Tolima, Colombia, El Vergel has been home to the Bayter family since 1995. What began as an avocado farm slowly evolved into something more. In 2016, the family turned their attention to specialty coffee — and they didn’t just join the scene; they helped reshape it.

The team at El Vergel is known for pushing boundaries in processing, and this release is no exception. For this particular Sidra release, they turned to a process as unconventional as it is meticulous: a 72-hour anaerobic fermentation using mosto — a lixiviate-rich liquid derived from a previous Java fermentation. This microbial cocktail supercharges the fermentation, lending the beans a complexity that’s anything but ordinary.

After fermentation, the coffee was carefully dried and then rested for 30 days to stabilize the flavors. The result is a layered, expressive cup that speaks to innovation — a bold take on Sidra that’s both experimental and elegant.
