Vinka DSF

About This Coffee

This coffee is a Sidra variety from Ecuador, specifically from the Loja region at 1660 meters altitude. Produced by Carlos Iñiguez, a recognized scholar and top producer of Sidra coffees. The coffee undergoes a DSF (Double Stage Fermentation) process with a two-stage fermentation: first in cherry to bolster sugars and aromas, then after pulping, a yeast-inoculation in mucilage with selected yeasts. It is honey-processed. The coffee is clean and incredibly silky with memorable grapey and licorice flavor notes.

Paolo and Chisato Malikski co founded Regalia Coffee in 2018 in Long Island City, Queens, building on work Paolo began in 2017 alongside coffee expert Scott Rao at the original Multimodal roasting facility. Paolo, a classical musician turned roaster and international roasting instructor, brings a meticulous ear for nuance to every batch. Regalia now operates from a 7,000 square foot facility called Multimodal, equipped with a Diedrich IR5, Mill City Roasters, and a Probat P25/2, serving both their own production and other roasters through shared access and toll roasting services. Their mission centers on lowering barriers to entry in the coffee industry while maintaining fair, sustainable sourcing practices. The roastery earned Gold at the 2025 Global Coffee Awards in the Filter/Experimental category.
