This coffee is from El Dorado Farm in Loja, Ecuador, at 1760-1810 meters altitude. Produced by Juan Peña, this is Lot #3 of SL28 variety, picked in November 2025 and arrived in January 2026. The coffee is processed using Light Anaerobic Washed method. The farm is located on the misty slopes of the Andes Mountains, benefiting from Pacific fog and fertile volcanic soils. El Dorado Farm follows organic cultivation practices combined with biodynamic principles and has received multiple Cup of Excellence awards.
Founded in 2020 by Tong Zhang in Chengdu, this micro-specialty roastery emerged from an unexpected journey—a robotics engineer's transformation into coffee artisan after discovering specialty coffee in Paris. Zhang, who placed third in the French Brewers Cup in his first year as a barista, brings technical precision to every roast, using Stronghold S7Pro machines to highlight the unique terroir of each coffee through light profiles that express origin, climate, soil, and the people behind each bean.
