Ecuador — Crespo Family Pillcocaja Typica "Honey Dude" (Natural)

Tastes Like — 🍈 Honeydew • 🍁 Maple Syrup • 🍪 Cookies

DETAILS

  • Producers: Crespo Family
  • Farm: Pillcocaja
  • Region: Yunguilla Valley, Azuay, Ecuador
  • Varietal: Typica
  • Process: Natural
  • Elevation: 1,700 masl

INTRO
Another beautiful natural Typica from direct partner Hacienda Pillcocaja — honeydew and dark berries with a creamy mouthfeel and abundant sweetness. In the cup: honeydew, maple syrup, and cookies.

THE PRODUCER
The Crespo family acquired the Pillcocaja property 12 years ago to produce coffee, guided by innovation and a quest for perfection. Cherries are harvested and processed in a wet mill located 800 meters from the farm, ensuring perfect freshness, using water sourced from a nearby well.

THE PROCESS
Cherries are pulped and fermented for 18 hours, then dried on African beds under 70% shade for 12 days.

The 70% shade cover during the 12-day drying period is the defining step — it's what builds the creamy, dark berry sweetness behind the honeydew and cookie-like character that define this cup.

THE CUP
Creamy and sweet — honeydew melon leads, with dark berry depth and a maple syrup richness, finishing on a cookie-like sweetness.

About this variety

Typica is often valued for a clean, elegant and sweet cup rather than heavy intensity. Floral, citrus and soft fruit notes can appear in carefully grown lots.

Why this one is different
  • Ecuador
  • Azuay
  • 1700 masl
  • Natural

Typica has travelled widely, so this coffee’s origin in Ecuador is essential context. Local plant material, altitude and processing can produce very different cups.

Natural processing often brings a rounder, fruit-led expression, which can make the same variety feel quite different from a washed lot.

A little background

Typica is one of Arabica’s most culturally and genetically important historic variety families. It travelled widely from Yemen and became the foundation for many regional selections and mutations.

Classification Historic Arabica family

Technical lineage Typica-related Arabica genetic background.
