PROCESS
This coffee is processed using a washed method with a controlled double fermentation stage. Freshly harvested cherries are first placed in sealed environments to encourage anaerobic fermentation, enhancing fruit intensity, acidity, and body.
After this stage, the cherries are depulped and allowed to ferment again in their mucilage before being thoroughly washed. The coffee is then dried on patios or raised beds, often under protective covers, until it reaches stable moisture levels.
This careful combination of fermentation and washing helps create a cup that is both vibrant and clean, highlighting the complex character of the Sidra variety.
HISTORY
Finca Yum & Boss is operated by the Jumbo family in the canton of Sozoranga in Loja, southern Ecuador. The farm’s origins trace back to a small plot planted with Typica Criollo coffee by the family’s first generation.
The second generation, led by July Jumbo, began developing a specialty coffee project with a strong focus on quality and innovation. To improve their coffee, the family sourced Sidra seeds from the Pichincha region and carefully managed the germination and planting process on their farm.
Sozoranga’s dry climate and mountainous terrain provide ideal conditions for coffee cultivation. Inspired by the region’s growing recognition in national and international coffee competitions, the Jumbo family continues to refine their farming and processing practices. Their goal is to build a sustainable and profitable model that honors the family’s heritage while producing exceptional specialty coffee.
