This coffee is a Mejorado variety from Finca Soledad, located in the Intag region of Ecuador at 1515 meters altitude. It is processed using a unique 'Wave Washed' method. The flavor profile is characterized by bright notes of cranberry and lemonade, combined with the sweetness of cotton candy, and a floral backbone featuring honeysuckle and marigold. This selection is highly regarded for its red-fruited and floral qualities.
Alex Shotts owns and operates Thankfully Coffee out of Auburn, Alabama. The name was chosen to stir gratitude toward the farmers who produce the coffee, and the roastery is built around long term, repeated seasonal purchases that provide economic stability to its farming partners. Shotts sources specialty beans selected for nuance, character, and complexity, and roasts with an emphasis on sweetness, approachable acidity, and body without letting roast character dominate. The approach is simple: contribute to the flourishing of the people who grow the coffee, and let that care show up in the cup.
