In recent years, the finest Ecuadorian coffees that we have had the opportunity to taste have tended to be separations of one of two Arabica varieties: Sidra and ‘Typica’ Mejorado. This particular selection is an immaculate example of a coffee containing both varieties, awarding it third place in the 2022 Ecuador Cup of Excellence competition. Opening with a captivating bouquet of jasmine, rose, and bergamot florals on the nose the stunning elegance of this profile exhibits an exceptionally clean and juicy acidity of kiwi, and starfruit followed by a delicate florality that carries throughout the finish, which continues to sweeten with flavors of melon, candied lemon, and apricot as it cools.
