Ángel Moreno owns Finca El Tigre in the Puyango subregion of Loja, Ecuador. This 40 hectare farm has 15 hectares planted with roughly 30,000 coffee trees.

They utilize a wet fermentation here for 28-32 hours followed by 28-30 days of drying on raised African beds. 

Ángel spoke to us about crime, climate change, and fertilizer costs all being big challenges currently they are working through and he is happy that his coffee has found a good home. 

Microlots from Ecuador are sourced from independent specialty-coffee farmers and represent the highest quality and the highest level of traceability available.

This Ecuadorian coffee from the El Tigre farm in Puyango is a smooth and dynamic cup. The honey process creates a coffee with a unique balance of sweetness and complexity. The Caturra varietal adds a refined acidity, while the altitude contributes to a clean and bright flavor profile. This coffee offers an elegant and well-rounded experience, perfect for those who enjoy a lively yet silky cup.
