From SEY
We have been working on a project in Loja, Ecuador, for a few years now, and while the lots remain extremely small and limited, the quality has been exceptional. Vicente is a new producer to this project, and we are excited to be roasting his coffee. In the cup we find preserved lemon, orange blossom, and fresh herbs.
ABOUT VICENTE REGALADO
Vicente is a new producer in our project in Loja. Farms here are very small, and the lots delivered are even smaller. While this makes working in the region exceptionally challenging, the quality makes it worthwhile. These coffees have quickly become some of our favorites of the year, and their global recognition is only just beginning.
ABOUT MEJORADO
Mejorado is a very unique variety mainly grown in Ecuador. Though it is colloquially known as Typica Mejorado, we now know — thanks to genetic testing by World Coffee Reseach — that it is actually a Bourbon variety cross-pollinated with an Ethiopian Landrace variety.
