Ecuador Chorora Mejorado

"Our second season sourcing from Chorora, which is one of two farms owned and run by sisters Olinka and Diana Velez. Chorora grows multiple varieties including Mejorado, Wush Wush, Lupe Maria, and Rosado, whereas Yambamine grows nothing but Sidra. The sisters are pioneers in high intervention processing in Ecuador, including carbonic maceration, anoxic fermentation, and naturally isolated lactobacillus and yeast cultures. A research laboratory on-site develops new processing methods, and crosses different cultivars. We're tasting: Sweet and sticky aromatics - stewed apple, chamomile and dried apricots. In the cup it's plush and elegant with clementine and nectarine notes hot, alongside cake-like bakewell tart (raspberry, frangipane, brown butter shortcrust pastry) and chamomile tea. The touch of extra development tips the Mejorado profile from white sugar to more butterscotch, and we find a soft florality throughout - apple blossom hot, dried jasmine cold."
