2026 Abraham Armijos - Ecuador

This is our first year working with Abraham Armijos. Mejorado has long been one of our favorite varieties to work with in Ecuador, and this is an exceptional expression of the variety. In the cup we find lemon zest, peach, and wild strawberry.

The 2026 Abraham Armijos release from Ecuador highlights the work of producer Abraham Armijos, who has cultivated the Mejorado varietal for this specific lot. Roasted by Sey Coffee, this coffee presents a distinct profile characterized by notes of lemon zest, peach, and wild strawberry.

Mejorado is a unique varietal often noted for its complex acidity and sweetness, which can bridge the gap between traditional Bourbon-like profiles and the more exotic characteristics found in high-end cultivars. When evaluating such vibrant, fruit-forward profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better identify the nuances of stone fruit and citrus acidity. While every harvest varies, coffees from Ecuador are frequently celebrated for their balance and clarity. This particular offering serves as a compelling example of the potential within the region, showcasing how careful processing and varietal selection can result in a bright, expressive cup.
