Yunguilla
Cafexporto's most aromatic farm, planted from first-generation La Papaya seed where warm Pacific air meets cool Andean nights. The result is floral lift and vivid acidity.
Cafexporto's most aromatic farm, planted from first-generation La Papaya seed where warm Pacific air meets cool Andean nights. The result is floral lift and vivid acidity.
Warm Pacific winds push daytime heat up while altitude keeps the nights cool, a bioclimate found nowhere else in Ecuador. Fast days and cool nights build aromatic intensity and preserve a vivid, citrus-driven acidity.
Sandy-loam soils drain fast and cleanly, sharpening clarity in the cup. The style is floral and precise, especially expressive in washed lots and clean naturals.
The line is one day. Warm days build sugar; cold nights slow the plant so it keeps it. The wider this swing, the sweeter and denser the cup.
The Yunguilla valley is Cañari country, home to one of the most sophisticated pre-Inca societies of southern Ecuador, whose agricultural knowledge and bond to the land endure.
A mestizo fusion layered over that heritage shapes the valley's food, festivals, and farming today. Coffee here is a newer chapter in a very old agricultural story.
Every farm grows from first-generation Genetic Bank seed under Juan Peña. Milling and cupping happen later, at the Cuenca dry mill, not on the farm.
Every tree traces to a mother plant in the Genetic Bank.
Soil, plant health, and drying read in real time, lot by lot.
Grown, processed, and cupped under one standard.
Finished, sorted, and cupped at the dry mill, not on the farm.
