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.

Cherries ferment 120 hours in sealed oak barrels that previously held rum for more than 20 years, kept below 18C, then slow solar drying. The barrel lends rum-like volatiles, fruit esters, and floral aldehydes layered over the fruit, with elegant, structured body.

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.
