CHEMEX 8 CUP

This coffee from Rancho Tio Emilio, a farm located in the Pinchincha region of northern Ecuador, placed 16^th in Ecuador’s coveted annual Cup of Excellence competition. Farm owner José Gaibor is an infant heart surgeon and lives in town during the week. José's late father was named Emilio Gaibor, and this farm is named in his honor. José’s brother Henry and Henry’s wife Verena oversee the daily operations of Rancho Tio Emilio, as well as their own farms, Maputo and Hakuna Matata. A few years ago, we purchased a coffee from Finca Maputo that placed in the Taza Dorada, which was Ecuador’s national coffee quality competition prior to the inaugural Cup of Excellence competition last year.
