Ecuador

ISO ECU

Ecuador is a smaller but increasingly notable coffee origin, with Arabica grown in the Andean highlands and Robusta in the lowland Amazon region. The Loja and Zamora-Chinchipe provinces in the south produce the highest-quality specialty lots at elevations above 1,500 meters. Ecuadorian coffees can surprise with their bright acidity, floral aromatics, and unique terroir-driven complexity reflecting the country's remarkable biodiversity.
