Nutty and moderately sweet, this coffee was discovered by Cafe Imports in the latest regional Bracamoros Coffee Festival.
Rosa and William Abad own Finca El Pino in Zamora, a region in the south-east of Ecuador that borders Peru.
According to their entry on the COE 2021, “The history of our farm began 12 years ago when my parents returned from Italy after working there for 5 years. From that moment my entire Abad Roman family is immersed in the farm, we take care of all the coffee processes, we do organic coffee farming certified by BCS and a family coffee farm.”
El Pino sits at 1700 meters and is roughly 6 hectares. Half of those are dedicated to coffee—producing 30-45 (standardised) bags of green, annually.
Rosa and William exclusively produce washed coffees. The wet fermentation time is 48 hours, then drying on raised beds can take up to 15 days, depending on the weather.
According to the importer, this coffee was discovered as part of the annual Bracamoros Festival.
