Ecuador Morona Santiago Juan Pena Taisha Blend

We don’t often get coffee from Ecuador despite the equator slicing its way through the country.  Ecuador sits in a prime spot on the coffee belt (the region coffee is most easily grown – 25 degrees north of the equator and 30 degrees south).  However, high production costs have made it difficult for this natural coffee growing heaven to compete in a global market.  So when we are lucky enough to get beans from Ecuador, we know two things.

ONE: This coffee is premium and high quality to have made it to us.

And TWO: This is a special treat.

This light roast was cultivated on just a few acres of land.  It comes from a small group of community producers who have banded together so that their product will reach international hands.  Through this collaboration, the group has been able to build a traceable community blend with a vibrant regional profile.  You’ll taste notes of pear, caramel, and dark chocolate brownie when sipping this premium blend.
