this is a single-producer washed typica from ángel benigno capa chamba, grown in the loja region of ecuador. typica is one of the oldest arabica varietals, and loja sits in southern ecuador at elevations that favour slow cherry development. the washed process strips the fruit before drying, which tends to keep the cup clean and highlight the bean's inherent character rather than fermentation-driven sweetness. hex coffee roasters have sourced and roasted this coffee, so expect a clean, structured cup. a filter brew, such as pour-over or batch, will suit its clarity best, allowing whatever delicate acidity and clean sweetness the varietal offers to come through without distraction.
