Over the last two years, Stumptown has worked with farmers in the Loja province of Ecuador to improve the quality of their coffee.

A first from Ecuador! Here’s another coffee where several years of work with Stumptown’s green coffee buyers preceded its arrival at thump! Stumptown describes the Ecuador Quilanga Reserva: “Over the last two years, Stumptown has worked with farmers in the Loja province of Ecuador to improve the quality of their coffee. Valle el Ingenio (Valley of the Genius) sits at the heart of the Andes in Southern Ecuador. In traditional South American fashion our Quilanga Reserva coffee is processed manually with hand-crank depulpers, fermented in small tanks, then washed and laid to dry on either patios or raised beds. This is our first single origin offering of our Ecuadorian coffee. Our Quilanga begins with the scent of hibiscus, maple and lemonheads which lead to flavors of Rainier cherry and hibiscus with a long, sweet and lemony finish.” read more
