Juan Peña manages all production from the farm in the Saraguro Formation, Loja, Ecuador, at an altitude between 1,800 and 2,200 meters above sea level, in an Andean mountain environment with sandy-clay soil, water from Andean wetlands, and a dry tropical climate with 12 hours of daily sunlight.
This thermal pattern has a significant effect on the accumulation of sugars in the fruit, a phenomenon scientifically correlated with altitude and plant genetics. This unique environment, which combines altitude, genetics, and specific climatic conditions, allows for the development of an unmistakable flavor profile characterized by a unique and balanced level of sweetness, with floral and fruity nuances.
In the cup, it is a complex coffee with a bright acidity and medium body, fruity and floral notes, clean and balanced, with tropical sweetness and freshness. This lot is especially notable for its green apple, orange, and butterscotch-like sweetness.

A unique coffee experience depends on more than just our expertise as roasters.

Most of the work is already done in the respective growing regions by the coffee producers. Unfortunately, these people are often overlooked and given little to no recognition. We want to change that! Our coffees always bear the name of the producers (or cooperatives).

And because we believe that informed consumers are essential for the sustainability of our industry, we communicate all costs along the supply chain.
