This incredibly zesty lot was a joy to taste at this year's Taza Dorada competition. All the judges noted the cup's viscosity and warmth. Sweet apricot, plum, and watermelon dominate this top-shelf coffee.
Don Jose Miguel Villa’s first place finish in the recent national Taza Dorada Cup competition has put himself and the region of Chimborazo on the world stage. His journey as a coffee producer started five years ago, after purchasing and renaming his farm, “Las Palmas”.
“Nunca creí que un día mi café fuera valorado entre los mejores del país. Este premio es una señal de que todo el esfuerzo vale la pena.”
He surrounds his coffee crops with aromatic plants like cinnamon and oranges in order to regenerate the soil.
“El café necesita cuidado y cariño. Para mí, es una pasión. Verlo crecer y saber que lleva el sabor de nuestra tierra Pallatanga al mundo es una satisfacción incomparable.”
