Cerro Ahuaca, from Cariamanga, Loja, Ecuador.
Cerro Ahuaca is a communal lot crafted by three dedicated producers—Servio Pardo, María Esperanza Molina, and Diego Jumbo—whose farms nestle on the slopes of the ancient Cerro Ahuaca in Cariamanga, Loja, Ecuador. Their farms avarage 2 Ha in size and sit at an elevation range of 1,700 to 1,900 m.a.s.l. This lot is comprised of the Caturra, Typica, Bourbon, and Criollo varieties.
After careful harvesting of the ripest of cherries, the coffee is de-pulped and then undergoes a meticulous 48-hour fermentation. The parchment is then washed and laid to dry in raised beds for 12 to 15 days, depending on the weater.
Cariamanga’s Crown
The city of Cariamanga is one of the most important agricultural and commerce hubs in Loja, and Cerro Ahuaca is its most remarkable landmark—crowning this region surrounded by tales of an Angel slashing the tip of Cerro Ahuaca… leaving it flat at its peak.
For over a century, families like those of Servio, María Esperanza, and Diego have tended coffee trees on its slopes, passing down the craft, and the terroir of Cariamanga.
We have been working in the region of Cariamanga since 2018, but this is our first communal lot and we are thrilled to continue building relationships amongst these producers.
