The typica mejorado variety is mostly found in Ecuador and Colombia and is still fairly new in the coffee world. While not related to the typica variety, it does cup in a similar fashion, but with more gesha-like complexities. The natural anaerobic process gives the coffee time to ferment and bring out more aromatic and tart profiles, while the typica variety holds classic structure and bright profiles all on its own. This is yet again the marriage of intense research, dedication, and craft.
We taste a vibrant and expressive typica with notes of Intense Navel Orange, Raspberry, and Cacao.
