This coffee is a Typica Mejorado variety from Yunguilla Farm, located in the Saraguro Formation of Loja, Ecuador. Grown at an altitude between 1800 and 2100 meters, this lot is processed using the natural method, with cherries dried in controlled environments for 20–30 days. The cup profile is complex and sweet, featuring distinct notes of wild strawberry, cotton candy, cherry, candied almonds, and pink grapefruit.
Felix Teiretzbacher founded kaffeelix in 2012, initially to supply his own café before specializing completely in roasting. His approach is to roast coffees relatively light, a method that highlights the unique characteristics of a bean's origin and processing rather than masking them with roasted notes. This dedication has paid off, with Felix winning the World Coffee Roasting Championship in 2022.
