## What the Brand Says

> - Variety: Mejorado - Country: Ecuador - Region: Loja - Process: Washed - Altitude: 1900 MASL - Harvest: Late 2025 - Producer: Abel Salinas - Farm: Finca Arashi - Roast Level: Extra-light In the cup In the cup we taste sweet stone fruits like peach and plums, a delicate florality reminiscent of oolong tea, and fresh lemon. This coffee has an incredibly light body and a clean finish. 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 with around 22,000 coffee trees currently in production. The majority of Abel’s current coffee production is the exotic Typica Mejorado coffee plant, however he also grows some Sidra and H1 Hybrid. Processing This coffee is de-pulped at peak ripeness and then dry-fermented for 24 hours before washing. After washing the coffee, Abel immediately places it to dry for approximately 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. Transparency Imported The Coffee Quest We Paid $26.07 USD/KG Roasted Costs $32.98 USD/KG Our third year featuring the incredible work of Abel Salinas and Finca Arashi, this beautiful Mejorado is bright, delicate and sweet with notes of sweet peach, oolong tea, and delicate lemon. This is an extra-light roast variant of this coffee. Our extra-lights require extended rest (5 weeks +) for best results and often sacrifice intensity, sweetness, and acidity for clarity.
