Honey Process Ecuador Loja

Notes of white pomegranate and sweet light molasses with hints of stone fruit and cocoa nib.

This unique honey-processed coffee hails from the province of Loja, a jewel of Ecuador’s Andean highlands. Here in the canton of Puyango, the warrior spirit of the Palta tribe lives on in every coffee crop they produce. Famed for their exquisite, high-end coffees, a group of 27 passionate local farmers was selected to produce this lot specially for the Starbucks Reserve® lineup. This coffee is honey-processed, meaning the sticky mucilage was left to dry on the bean—and is the first of its kind for this region. It’s a testament to these producers’ skills and dedication, unfolding with tantalizing sweetness and complexity.
