Fundochamba is a small mountain community just outside of Quilanga in Ecuador’s Loja province. Local farmers have partnered with Roberto Jimenez of Capamaco Trading, whose expertise has connected them to the specialty market. This season presented some unique challenges as wildfires spread across the mountains near Quilanga at the tail end of the harvest. Undeterred, Roberto navigated the fires with his truck to collect coffee from each grower, ensuring their harvest wasn’t lost. Fortunately, no one was injured, farm damage was minimal, and the coffee emerged unscathed. We love this coffee for its dried apricot-like fruit tones layered over a cozy chocolate and toasted almond base.
