Ecuador Maputo & Hakuna Matata | La Perla

This single origin coffee is from Ecuador, specifically from the La Perla region in Pichincha province at 1350 meters elevation. The coffee is a Typica variety processed using the washed method. It comes from two farms, Maputo and Hakuna Matata, owned and operated by Henry and Verena Gaibor. The region is known for its cool climate with misty afternoon clouds, cool nights, and an average temperature of 18.3°C. The farms are located near volcanoes and rose farms that inform the soil characteristics. The producers control their own wet-milling and drying processes. The coffee offers flavor notes of herbal, cranberry juice, and sugarcane.
