From SEPTEMBER
Our third year featuring the incredible work of Abel Salinas and Finca Arashi, this beautiful Mejorado is bright, delicate and sweet with notes of sweet peach, oolong tea, and delicate lemon.
In the cup
In the cup we taste sweet stone fruits like peach and plums, a delicate florality reminiscent of oolong tea, and fresh lemon. This coffee has an incredibly light body and a clean finish.
About The Producer
Finca Arashi is located in Saraguro, Loja, Ecuador, and is managed by Abel Salinas, a 58-year-old, Cup of Excellence winner and first-generation coffee grower and fifth out of twelve siblings. The farm sits at an elevation of 1900 MASL and consists of 7 hectares of land, and around 22,000 coffee trees in production and the majority of the production being the exotic Typica Mejorado. However, Abel also grows some Sidra and H1 Hybrid.
Processing
This coffee starts by de-pulping and then dry-fermenting the coffee for 24 hours. After washing the coffee Abel immediately places it to dry for 15 days.
Variety
Mejorado has become the gem of Ecuador. Although it’s certainly similar in name to Typica, Typica Mejorado is not related to this variety. It is now known to be a cross-pollination of Bourbon and Ethiopian Landrace.
