## What the Brand Says

> - Variety: F1 Hybrid - Country: Ecuador - Region: Loja - Process: Washed - Altitude: 1900 MASL - Harvest: Late 2024 - Producer: Abel Salinas - Farm: Finca Arashi - Roast Level: Extra-Light In the cup We get a sweet profile of cherry and raspberry with delicate florals and bright lemon like acidity that reminds us of lemonade. 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 F1 hybrid varieties are still relatively new to coffee farmers and industry. One of the key distinguishing features of F1 hybrids is their "hybrid vigor," which can translate into everything from higher yields, to wider climate adaptability, to resilience in the face of stresses like disease (e.g., coffee rust), frost, or drought. Another is the reduced time from breeding to commercial release compared with traditional pure line varieties (10-20 years vs. 25-30 for pure line varieties). Transparency Imported The Coffee Quest We Paid $13.97 USD/KG Roasted Costs $18.05 USD/KG Our second year featuring the incredible work of Abel Salinas and Finca Arashi, and the first time featuring Abel's F1, this sweet coffee has a profile of cherry, florals, lemonade and raspberry.
