Ecuador Inti Nam - Filter

******************************************************

• Producers + Mill:

Inti Nan, which means "Path of the Sun" in Kichwa, pays tribute to Ecuador as the Middle of the World. This blend unites coffees from Zamora, Pichincha, and Imbabura, grown by producers who share the same passion for quality.

******************************************************

• Variety:

Typica Mejorado -

Mejorado is a very unique variety mainly grown in Ecuador.

Recent genetic testing by World Coffee Research demonstrated that Typica Mejorado is a hybrid of Bourbon and Ethiopian Heirloom/Landrace—it’s not a descendant of the Typica lineage, even though it’s taken the name of ‘Typica Mejorado’.

The cup profile is meant to have a more refined sweetness and body and a higher quality acidity compared to the regular Bourbon variety.

******************************************************

• Process

Featuring Typica Mejorado and Nestle varieties, each lot is processed the same way

48 hours of cherry fermentation, pulping, then 24 more hours of fermentation before washing-creating a harmonious, consistent cup that reflects the spirit of Inti Nan: different regions and producers, all connected under one sun.
