Farm: Finca Meridiano Country: Ecuador Variety: Typica Mejorado Processing: Washed Province: Pichincha Canton: Nenegal Elevation: 1550 MASL Producer: Mario José Hervas Chauvin In the northern canton of Quito, there is a small town called Meridiano. In its surrounding rural area, Mario Hervas has his farm El Meridiano, named after the town. Mario’s journey in coffee started in 2011. He bought the farm back then, starting from scratch. Since then, his right-hand man has been Byron Ruiz, who helps him as the farm administrator and oversees the day-to-day work. Throughout these years, he is proud of what he has been able to achieve, starting from zero with no coffee knowledge or family involved, all about being self-taught. In 2021 he had a good participation in Cup of Excellence of Ecuador, getting to the final round and placing 10th with his Washed Typica Mejorado. The coffee process at El Meridiano starts with a meticulous manual harvest of the rip cherries, which are then taken to the wet mill on the farm. There, they are spread out on tables, and a manual selection is done to discard any defective cherries. Afterwards, a second selection is done by floating the cherries. Following this step, the cherries are left to ferment in containers for a period of 12 to 16 hours, after which they are pulped. Then, they undergo a second fermentation of 16 to 20. When this process is finished, the coffee go through a shade drying period of 2 days to drain any liquid they might have after washing. The next step in drying is when they are taken to the raised beds, where it will take from 16 to 20 days for the coffee to reach its ideal humidity point.
