Fincas Del Putushio in Lojo, Ecuador operates with the goal of finding the "perfect terroir". That goal is very evident In this Mejorado! Mejorado is a new variety for us at SK and we are very excited that our first is from Jose Jijon. Mejorado shares a similar story to a handful of Ethiopian landrace varieties; initially thought to be related to Typica and often referred to as Typica Mejorado. The variety is in fact a cross between Bourbon and an Ethiopian Landrace variety and is known for its very unique profile not dissimilar to what we see in other Ethiopian Landrace Varietys.
