José Gabriel Chamba Criollo

About This Coffee

This coffee is produced by Finca La Inmaculada in the Cangonama and Yambila regions of Loja, Ecuador, at an altitude of 1,900 meters. The Criollo variety, derived from Typica, is grown by José Gabriel Chamba. The coffee is processed using a washed method, involving a 48-hour controlled fermentation followed by shade drying to preserve clarity and aromatic compounds. This lot is characterized by its density and structural clarity, resulting from the high-altitude, slow maturation of the cherries.

HEX Coffee Roasters

Tanner Morita, Chandler Wrenn, and John Michael Cord founded HEX Coffee in 2015, beginning as an ambitious pop-up that challenged Charlotte's coffee landscape with nitro cold brew and coffee cocktails served alongside made-to-order waffles. These three visionaries understood that coffee culture needed more than just exceptional beans—it demanded an experience that bridged the gap between Charlotte's emerging beer scene and specialty coffee's potential. Their mission centers on "bringing bright, vibrant coffees" while building "relationally based supply chains built on mutual respect," ensuring each cup tells both the story of its origin and honors the growers behind it. HEX's roasting philosophy is unapologetically focused on "unashamedly bright coffees".
