This single-origin coffee is produced by Juan Peña at the Yacuri farm in the Loja region of Ecuador. Grown at an altitude of 1800-2100 meters, this Sidra variety is processed using the washed method. The cup profile is characterized by juicy sweetness, vibrant acidity, and an expressive fruit character, with distinct tasting notes of nougat, Golden Delicious apple, and key lime pie.
