Galo Morales - Typica Mejorado
Cruz Loma - 2877
15
Carlos Jaramillo cultivates Typica Mejorado at Llavicocha in the
Saraguro canton of Loja, at 2,100 masl — one of the two
highest farms in this competition. The elevation drives slower
cherry maturation, extending the harvest window beyond what is
typical for lower-lying farms in the region. A shaded system
incorporating native forest and leguminous trees helps maintain
soil structure on steep gradients.
Rather than relying on complex fermentation techniques, Carlos has
concentrated on field-level consistency — selective
harvesting and stable Washed post-harvest routines adapted to the
cooler night temperatures at altitude. Two lots from Llavicocha
appear in this competition: this Typica Mejorado and a Geisha, both
Washed, both earning their scores through patience and precision.
The jasmine, peach, and cocoa here reflect what high-altitude
Typica Mejorado does when the process stays out of its way.
