Ecuador Finca La Josefina Typica Mejorado

This week’s Secret Stash is an Anaerobic Washed Typica Mejorado from Finca La Josefina roasted by Driftaway! This is a very expressive yet clean presentation of Typica Mejorado. Typically (hah), typica mejorados are more floral and delicate but this one has tons of dynamic red fruit acidity and layering due to the anaerobic fermentation. When hot, the coffee presents bright red fruits with candied sweetness in the finish with each sip giving you good articulation of stonefruits like blood orange and raspberry. When the cup cools, the acidity becomes very structured with good layering and the anaerobic fermentation is very apparent here yet the finish is still very clean with long sweetness. This is such a fun presentation of this varietal and I love how it tastes! 

For best results, I suggest you rest this coffee for at least 4+ weeks!
