This coffee is a washed Heirloom variety from Finca Kafipamba, located in the Pichincha region of Ecuador at 1345 meters altitude. Produced by Jhon Ortiz and Nelly Morales, the coffee is processed by fermenting selected cherries for 24 hours before depulping and drying on African beds. The flavor profile features orange sweetness and brightness, with notes of soft peach, prune, and silky milk chocolate, finishing with a long, deep honeyed sweetness.
