This coffee is a single-origin SL28 variety from the La Noria farm in Loja, Ecuador, grown at an altitude of 2020-2100 meters. It undergoes a sequential anaerobic washed process, involving 48 hours of fermentation before and after pulping, followed by drying on raised beds in greenhouses. The flavor profile is characterized by notes of honey, red grape, tangerine, floral, and grapefruit, with a juicy, coating, sweet, and lingering mouthfeel.
