What MOK Coffee says about this coffee
Finca El Alisal is a renowned coffee farm with multiple recent accolades to its name. Located in Fundochamba in the South of Ecuador, the Jaramillo family has been growing coffee here for over 60 years. Yet it is only since Leonidas Jaramillo took over - in 2017 - that they focus on specialty coffee and in particular, the best scoring varieties in Ecuador. El Alisal, “the Alder Grove”, is named after the alder trees for its presence in the area and its influence on the biodiversity and microclimate. These trees and other native species provide soil balance and enhance productivity through variation. Amongst the varieties grown here, is Sidra, believed to be an Ecuadorian adaptation of Ethiopian heirloom varieties. The cherries of this specific lot are fermented in open tanks for 12 hours to kickstart fermentation, then depulped and washed and afterwards the parchment is spread out on raised beds in the shade for 1 hour, to rapidly reduce the humidity in open air. They are then moved to temperature- and humidity monitored polyshade greenhouses where they dry for 12 to 15 days.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

A further 2 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
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.
