FROM THE ROASTER

FINCA ARASHI IS LOCATED IN SARAGURO, LOJA, ECUADOR, AND IS MANAGED BY ABEL SALINAS, A 58-YEAR-OLD, FIRST-GENERATION COFFEE GROWER AND THE FIFTH OUT OF TWELVE SIBLINGS. THE FARM SITS AT AN ELEVATION OF 1,890 M.A.S.L. AND CONSISTS OF 7 HECTARES OF LAND. ABEL HAS AROUND 22.000 COFFEE TREES IN PRODUCTION AND THE MAJORITY OF THE THOSE ARE MEJORADO VARIETY. HOWEVER, ABEL ALSO GROWS SOME SIDRA AND H1 HYBRID. ABEL HAS ONLY BEEN PRODUCING COFFEE SINCE 2016 BUT IS NOW RENOWNED IN LOJA FROM WINNING THE 2021 ECUADOR CUP OF EXCELLENCE COMPETITION. THIS MEJORADO LOT SHOWS SO MUCH OF WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THE VARIETY. WE'VE NOW BEEN WORKING WITH ABEL'S MEJORADO FOR FOUR YEARS AND LOOK FORWARD TO IT EVERY SEASON.
