This auction-winning coffee is produced by Carlos Jaramillo at Finca Llavicocha in the Saraguro canton of Loja, Ecuador. Grown at an extreme altitude of 2,100 meters, the Typica Mejorado variety undergoes a traditional washed process. The roast profile is light, offering a crisp and elegant cup with vibrant notes of Meyer lemon, juicy white grape, and a smooth honey sweetness. It features a clean, tea-like finish, showcasing the structural complexity and clarity achieved through precise field management and high-altitude maturation.
