This coffee has a mouthwatering & intense acidity that reminds us of lemonade and a long sweet finish. This coffee has a light body. Clean Funky Terroir Experimental 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.
