tropical is a specialty coffee from the loja region of ecuador, roasted by coffee relief. loja sits in southern ecuador at high altitude, a growing area known for producing clean, distinctly aromatic cups. this coffee carries tasting notes of tropical fruit and jasmine, with a broader floral character that runs through the cup. it suits brew methods that let delicate aromatics come through clearly, so filter brewing, such as pour over or chemex, is a good fit. use water around 90-93°c and a medium-fine grind to keep the floral and fruit notes present without sharpness.
