ECUADOR - FINCA LA NORIA
TYPICA MEJORADO
ANAEROBIC WASHED
Nestled in the beautiful Loja region of Ecuador, La Noria Coffee Farm boasts an exciting journey since its founding in 2017.
ABOUT THE FARM
Managed by a dedicated Ecuadorian agricultural company, it proudly belongs to a renowned coffee-growing family from Ibague, Colombia.
The farm is called 'La Noria,' which translates to 'windmill' in honor of Ecuador's first wind power generation. Today, the farm practices sustainable agriculture, utilizing neem and worm tea for fertilization.
Perched at an impressive elevation, La Noria enjoys 12 hours of sunlight throughout the year. Coffee plants flourish in nutrient-rich soil, shielded by tall shade trees while receiving water from a mineral-rich spring.
ABOUT THIS VARIETY
Typica Mejorado is a distinctive coffee variety originally developed in Ecuador. Thought to be an improved selection of the Typica line, it has gained attention for its clean profiles and complex acidity. It is often used in specialty coffee production and has gained recognition in competitions and among quality-focused producers.
ABOUT THIS PROCESS
Anaerobic coffee processing ferments coffee cherries in a sealed, oxygen-free environment, resulting in unique, complex flavors. This method can be effectively applied to whole cherries (natural process) or post-pulping (as in honey and washed processes).
