From La Baia:
"There is not much objective technical information widely available about the known origins of the Sidra Bourbon variety, however it is believed that the variety is a hybrid of Red Bourbon and typica with Ethiopia landraces and originally originates from the Pichincha province in Ecuador in the form of what is identified as “Sidra Bourbon” today. What is currently known about Sidra Bourbon, is that it was created on a large Ecuadorian research farm that was funded by Nestlé. The goal behind the creation of this hybrid was to represent the absolute best characteristics of both varieties by genetically crossing red bourbon and typica varieties and then distributing them widely to farmers in the region. Sidra produces high yields and is resistant to several pests and diseases, but is still susceptible to coffee leaf rust and CBD. In exchange for feedback from farmers, Nestlé offered the variety to farmers in the region, leading to a surge in its cultivation in Ecuador and now is being traded between growers in various countries."
