Birds Song
When Café Imports bought its first half-container from Ecuador in 2012, we were the first company to export specialty coffees
from Pichincha, an emerging growing region north of Quito. Two years later, when the Arabica exports dropped down to 30
containers, Café Imports bought three of them—10 percent of the national total!Low production and low incentives for growers
are among the challenges to sourcing and buying fine coffees from Ecuador: The logistics involved in filling a container can be
frustrating, but with time and investment in the relationships we’ve begun there, we are confident that there will be more and more cups hitting the upper scores on our sensory table in coming years.Café Imports’ senior green-coffee buyer Piero
Cristiani has spent several years really actively seeking, nurturing, and maintaining relationships with growers in this country,
and he has come to very strongly believe in the potential to uncover and even assist in the development of more and more 90+
point microlot coffees, as well as some larger Regional lots over time. We look at the future of Ecuador’s fine-coffee industry
with very optimistic eyes—and cups!
