Faint florals and honey on the dry aroma; crisp citrus and green-apple acidity on entry; honey and cane-sugar sweetness through the middle; a light, tea-like body; and a clean finish with a hint of cocoa.
Buying Tips
Region: Pichincha province surrounds Quito; its western slopes are humid, biodiverse cloud forest, where small farms often grow coffee under shade
Typica: One of the oldest arabica varieties — low-yielding, but clean, refined, and soft in the cup
Brewing Notes
Pour-over: Medium-fine grind, 91°C, ratio 1:15–1:16
Technique: Typica is delicate; pour steadily and avoid heavy agitation to keep its clean, tea-like character
