Ecuador Chito

Summary

Ecuador Chito is a washed coffee from the small community of Chito in Zamora Chinchipe, southeastern Ecuador, near the Peruvian border. The 55 farmers in the community work with Cafexporto and Juan Peña, and this lot reflects their efforts to improve quality through agronomy support and new varieties such as Typica, Sidra, and Geisha. Grown at 1600–1800 masl, it is round and approachable with notes of apple and nougat, a syrupy sweetness, and a soft citrus lift.
