The variety.

01 / Typica Mejorado

CafExporto's highest-volume premium variety and the backbone of the menu across all three farms. Genetic testing by World Coffee Research confirmed it is a Bourbon by Ethiopian heirloom hybrid, which explains its floral, fruit-forward cup and refined, panela-like sweetness.

The process.

Inoculated fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, then 16 days of sensor-monitored drying. Cleaner than traditional washed, yet distinctly fruit-forward: tropical fruit esters, clean acidity, and balanced sweetness. The 120-hour version deepens fruit expression and precision.

The grower, on this coffee
This is the coffee that made us. A Bourbon and Ethiopian heirloom hybrid, verified by World Coffee Research, and the backbone of all three farms. Roasters keep coming back because the florals, the fruit, and that panela sweetness arrive the same way every harvest.
