How it sits among coffee from Ecuador

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe coffee from Ecuador: 25 of 46 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

Special Guests describe this coffee as fruity, caramel and sweet. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Ecuador; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Ecuador, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
