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 their presence in the area and their influence on the biodiversity and microclimate. These trees and other native species provide soil balance and enhance productivity through variation. One of the varieties growing here is Typica Mejorado, which is probably a crossing between Bourbon and an Ethiopian landrace. This lot was grown at 2000 masl. After picking, the cherries are oxidized in open tanks and on drying beds to kickstart fermentation before depulping and washing. The parchment is first spread in the shade for two hours to reduce the humidity and then moved to polyshade greenhouses for controlled drying until the desired humidity is reached, or after approximately 12 to 15 days.
We sourced this coffee through our importing partner Makicuna.

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.
