 Coffee from La Florida is always clean, and unique. Fabricio has a way of processing that brings out new flavours in coffees. This Catucai is no exception.

Fabricio studied coffee at the Università del Caffè in Triesta, and applied his knowledge directly to the processing of his coffees.

Ramiro gained experience of agronomy through a multitude of farms in the north of Ecuador, particularly Nestle run estates.

Together, they've formed a powerhouse of coffee production in Sozoranga, close to the Peruvian borrder - where they consistently place very high in coffee competitions, both in Ecuador, and internationally.

 The growing region of the farm sits around 1500m above sea level, surrounded and encompassed by dense jungle and reforestation projects.

Fabricio grows Catucai, Sidra, and Typica Mejorado at his farm - which is located about 1km, and 500m in elevation from his house, and processing centre. They transport the cherry by donkey most of the time.
