Flower Child CoffeeAbout This Coffee
A Mejorado lot from Finca Arashi in Saragura, Loja, Ecuador (1,900 m). The coffee is processed as a washed lot: cherries are depulped, dry-fermented for 24 hours, washed, then dried for about 15 days in a greenhouse until ~10% moisture. Tasting notes include peaches, floral and honey with stone fruit, honeycomb, citrus, raspberry and nectarine nuances, a fuller body and syrupy mouthfeel.

Flower Child Coffee
Prestin Yoder founded Flower Child as a small roasting and green buying project after years working in specialty coffee. The operation runs out of Oakland, focusing on limited releases rather than a permanent lineup. Yoder roasts light but fully developed targeting clarity, and sources directly from farmers. The emphasis on farmer compensation and ongoing dialogue with producing partners shapes both the selection and the pricing. Coffees are curated for cleanliness, vibrancy, and origin expression, with lots from Ethiopia, Kenya, Burundi, Colombia, or Ecuador appearing frequently.
