About this coffee

This coffee is produced by Angel Reyes, an agronomist by profession, from a family of coffee growers. The Sidra variety, which he grows on his Finca Agroloja farm, originated in Ecuador. Known for its fragility and great cup potential, it can now be found on many competition tables.

What's special about the honey double fermentation process, developed by Angel Reyes and called "honey brillante"? It includes an initial 72-hour fermentation phase of whole cherries in hermetically sealed vats, before the coffee is pulped and dried on raised beds for 25 days.

The farm Finca Agroloja

Finca Agroloja is located between 1500 and 1850 metres above sea level in the province of Loja, in the south of Ecuador. The hills of the Malacatos Valley, which form a unique landscape around the farm, have a cool climate and rainfall suitable for growing coffee. Ecuador is renowned for its immense biodiversity and Angel has preserved this throughout Finca Agroloja. On this 28 hectare farm, 50% of the land is planted with Caturra, Typica Mejorado, Sidra and Geisha trees, and Angel Reyes also grows other fruits such as oranges, lemons, mangoes, avocados, bananas, plantains and yuca, as well as other local plants.
