This washed Ecuador coffee from Finca Cruz Loma in Pichincha region is a Typica Mejorado variety grown at 1450 meters altitude. The cup offers a balance of warm caramelized sweetness reminiscent of kettle corn, with a clear cherry-like acidity. Floral notes emerge as the coffee cools, with a smooth mouthfeel and crisp finish featuring soft sweetness and hint of florality.
