This is our first year working with Abraham Armijos. Mejorado has long been one of our favorite varieties to work with in Ecuador, and this is an exceptional expression of the variety. In the cup we find lemon zest, peach, and wild strawberry.

ABOUT ABRAHAM ARMIJOS
Abraham's coffee is a continuation of our ongoing exploration of Ecuador and the unique terroir and varieties being cultivated there. Mejorado has long been one of our favorite varieties to work with in this country, and Saraguro in particular has produced some of our favorite coffee profiles. This project has far exceeded our original expectations.
ABOUT MEJORADO
Mejorado is a very unique variety mainly grown in Ecuador. Though it is colloquially known as Typica Mejorado, we now know — thanks to genetic testing by World Coffee Research — that it is actually a Bourbon variety cross-pollinated with an Ethiopian Landrace variety.

The cost of getting a coffee from cherry to beverage varies enormously depending on its place of origin and the location of its consumption. The inclusion of price transparency is a starting point to inform broader conversation around the true costs of production and the sustainability of specialty coffee as a whole.
