About Typica Mejorado
Originally from Ecuador, Typica Mejorado is celebrated for its bright floral aromatics, natural sweetness, and clean, silky cup structure.
It often presents notes of jasmine, citrus, and tropical fruits with a refined body — making it highly valued in competition settings for both clarity and elegance.

The goal is balance — where vibrant fruit intensity meets structured sweetness and a polished finish.
It showcases the craftsmanship behind advanced fermentation, delivering complexity while maintaining cup precision.
 
Fermentation Process
Stage 1 — Anaerobic Fermentation
Cherries undergo anaerobic fermentation in 24 kg bags or sealed cans for 12 hours at controlled temperatures between 16–18 °C.
Stage 2 — Oxidation Phase
Coffee is transferred to tanks for 36 hours of oxidation, carefully monitored to ensure temperatures remain below 36 °C.
Stage 3 — Biomaster Anaerobic Fermentation
Beans are placed inside Biomaster equipment for 48 hours of anaerobic fermentation at temperatures not exceeding 18 °C.
This system allows precise control over pressure, temperature, and microbial activity.
Stage 4 — Mosto Submerged Fermentation
Coffee is submerged in water and mosto from previous fermentations of the same variety for 24 hours, recirculated at 22 °C to intensify fruit complexity and structure.
 
Detailed Cherry Processing
• Hand-selected ripe cherries (24–26° Brix)
• Sourced from the healthiest trees
• Thermal shock wash at 60 °C upon arrival
• Manual sorting to ensure only peak-ripeness processing
 
Pristine Precision Drying
Drying takes place in hermetically sealed stainless-steel dehumidifiers until:
• Moisture reaches 11%
• Water activity drops below 0.6%
Drying duration: Maximum 4 days
Stabilization: Minimum 2 weeks
This controlled system preserves aromatic integrity and cup clarity while preventing over-fermentation or flavour loss.
