Ecuador La Inmaculada – José Gabriel Chamba | Limited Auction Lot

A remarkable coffee born high in the mountains of Loja, Ecuador.

This limited auction lot was cultivated by producer José Gabriel Chamba at La Inmaculada, his small farm in Gonzanamá, where coffee grows at 1,800 meters above sea level alongside sugarcane and fruit trees.

José Gabriel carefully combines Typica and San Salvador varieties to create a beautifully balanced coffee with exceptional sweetness, clarity, and aromatic complexity. After harvesting, the coffee undergoes a traditional washed process, including a carefully monitored fermentation of approximately 40 to 48 hours, followed by slow drying under covered structures.

The result is an expressive and elegant cup that opens with vibrant orange zest and delicate rose, followed by juicy blueberry jam, maraschino cherry, crisp apple soda, and a playful sweetness reminiscent of lemon drops and cotton candy.

Selected through the Ecuador Farmer’s Collection auction, this coffee received the highest bid for its lot, a recognition of its outstanding quality, distinctive character, and the dedicated work behind every bean.

Its provenance was independently verified through Near-Infrared Spectroscopy, confirming its origin as 100% Ecuadorian coffee from the celebrated region of Loja.

Bright, floral, fruit-forward, and beautifully layered, this is a coffee created for those who want to experience an origin not simply drink another cup.
