Ecuador makes less coffee than its neighbours and spends more on it per producer. The top specialty lots come from Loja, Pichincha, and Imbabura, with altitudes pushing past 2,000 metres on farms small enough to be managed by a single family. The country also produces one of the region’s more interesting selections of Typica Mejorado, a varietal that shows up in serious specialty catalogues.

The cup profile skews clean and complex — tropical fruit, jasmine, citrus, sometimes a distinct cane-sugar sweetness. Processing is mostly washed, though naturals and experimental ferments are gaining ground among the producers chasing the specialty top end.

Expect to pay more. Expect to taste why.

Ecuador maakt minder koffie dan zijn buren en besteedt er per producent meer aan. De top-specialty-lots komen uit Loja, Pichincha en Imbabura, met hoogtes die boven de 2.000 meter uitstijgen op boerderijen klein genoeg om door één familie beheerd te worden. Het land levert ook een van de interessantere selecties Typica Mejorado uit de regio, een variëteit die opduikt in serieuze specialty-catalogi.

Het kopprofiel neigt schoon en complex — tropisch fruit, jasmijn, citrus, soms een uitgesproken rietsuiker-zoetheid. De verwerking is meestal gewassen, hoewel naturals en experimentele fermentaties terrein winnen onder producenten die de specialty-top najagen.

Verwacht meer te betalen. Verwacht te proeven waarom.

Ecuador macht weniger Kaffee als seine Nachbarn und investiert pro Produzent mehr. Die besten Specialty-Lots stammen aus Loja, Pichincha und Imbabura, mit Höhen jenseits der 2.000 Meter auf Farmen klein genug, um von einer einzelnen Familie geführt zu werden. Das Land liefert außerdem eine der interessanteren Auswahlen an Typica Mejorado in der Region, eine Sorte, die in ernsthaften Specialty-Katalogen auftaucht.

Das Tassenprofil neigt zu klar und komplex — tropische Früchte, Jasmin, Zitrus, manchmal eine ausgeprägte Rohrzucker-Süße. Die Aufbereitung ist überwiegend gewaschen, auch wenn Naturals und experimentelle Fermentationen unter den Produzenten an Boden gewinnen, die der Specialty-Spitze hinterherjagen.

Erwarte mehr zu zahlen. Erwarte zu schmecken, warum.
