2025 Miguel Dota - Ecuador

This second release from Miguel Dota continues our new project in the Seraguro region of Ecuador. Grown in a small Sidra garden on a sub-1-hectare (~2.5-acre) farm, it showcases the expressive profiles we are beginning to expect from this special group of producers and region. In the cup we find matcha, mango, and ripe strawberries.

The 2025 Miguel Dota from Ecuador, roasted by Sey Coffee, represents a compelling look at the potential of the Sidra varietal. Cultivated by producer Miguel Dota in the Seraguro region, this lot showcases the distinct profile often associated with this specific cultivar, which is frequently noted for its complex, layered acidity and refined sweetness. When evaluating such unique offerings, tasters often find that the flavor wheel serves as a helpful guide for identifying the nuanced interplay between vegetal and fruit-forward characteristics. In this particular instance, the roaster highlights a profile defined by matcha, mango, and ripe strawberries. By focusing on the specific terroir of Seraguro and the careful processing of the Sidra cherry, this coffee offers a clear expression of its origin, inviting a deeper exploration of how varietal selection influences the final cup.
