Familia Morales RiveraCup of Excellence

In recent years, the finest Ecuadorian coffees that we have had the opportunity to taste have tended to be separations of one of two Arabica varieties: Sidra and ‘Typica’ Mejorado. This particular selection is an immaculate example of a coffee containing both varieties, awarding it third place in the 2022 Ecuador Cup of Excellence competition. Opening with a captivating bouquet of jasmine, rose, and bergamot florals on the nose the stunning elegance of this profile exhibits an exceptionally clean and juicy acidity of kiwi, and starfruit followed by a delicate florality that carries throughout the finish, which continues to sweeten with flavors of melon, candied lemon, and apricot as it cools.
