Arnaud Causse - Las Tolas

by Flower Child

Variety: Las Tolas Region: Pinchincha, Ecuador Farm: Terrazas del Pisque Elevation: 1,900-2,000+ Meters Above Sea Level Process: Fully Washed Harvest: August 2023 Notes: Dried berries, cacao, prunes, honey almond. This is our first encounter with the variety colloquially known as Las Tolas. The profile of this lot is interesting, Bourbon-like in it's format. Dark fruit dried berries solidify the cup with a mild-medium sweetness. We bought this lot with espresso in mind. It's also comforting as a filter brew. Terrazas del Pisque has been an absolute pleasure to work with this year. Their coffees have all been clean, lively and complete.
