Espresso - Single OriginSingle originCoffee from one traceable place — a country at the loosest, a single farm or lot at the strictest — rather than a blend of sources.. Felipe Luzón farms coffee in the fertile lands of Palanda, in the Southern Amazon region of Ecuador. Historically known as a key cocoa producing area, Palanda is also gaining recognition for high quality coffee, supported by rich soils and favourable growing conditions at altitude.

His commitment to quality has led to strong results in the Bracamoros Regional Coffee Competition, where his lots have achieved notable placements.
