Ecuador El Sauce

Ecuador El Sauce is sourced from a town of the same name in Southern Ecuador, where Capamaco Trading and Coffee Quest blend coffees from multiple farmers. While technically washed, several contributing farmers employ yeast-inoculated fermentations that fundamentally alter the fermentation step, creating a fruit-forward profile unexpected from this origin. The blend balances intensity: some farmers use traditional washed processing while others employ controlled yeast fermentation, resulting in a cup that's tangy and fruity without overwhelming. Expect red grape, molasses, and berry muffin notes—a distinctive take on Ecuadorian coffee that's been refined over three years of roasting.
