Flavor Description:

The dry aroma presents grapefruit, navel orange, tangerine peel, and floral notes.

On the first sip you immediately meet the bright acidity of grapefruit, plum, citrus, and blackcurrant, alongside fresh floral aromas.

The finish reveals roasted almonds and toffee, with an excellent balance of sweet and sour notes.

Ecuador, located between Colombia and Peru in South America, has a considerable history of coffee cultivation. The Loja region in southern Ecuador, adjacent to the Andes Mountains, is one of the highest coffee-growing areas in the world and an important coffee-exporting city for the country.

The area relies primarily on natural shade cultivation, and the local high altitude, climate variations, and soil quality are exceptionally well suited to coffee growing, offering numerous excellent conditions for it.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Ecuador's Loja region is prized for exactly the flavors described here: bright grapefruit and citrus acidity, fresh florals, and a sweet, nutty finish. FrontStreet Coffee's Latin American single origins follow that same clean, fruit-forward style. The FrontStreet Colombia Huila, a washed bean from one of Colombia's most celebrated specialty regions, is grown above 1,500 meters and offers gentle floral and fruit acidity with a rich, full body and a lingering finish - an easy match for drinkers who love a vivid, balanced cup.

If you enjoy the almond-and-toffee sweetness that closes this Ecuadorian coffee, the FrontStreet Colombia Finca La Divisoria Papayo, an anaerobic natural grown at 1,650-1,800 meters and roasted medium-light, brings jasmine and citrus aromas together with a juicy rush of passion fruit, blueberry, grape, and apricot, with a pleasant cocoa sweetness in the finish.
