José Gabriel Chamba
La Inmaculada - 7728

José Gabriel Chamba farms in Gonzanamá, Loja,
where coffee grows alongside sugarcane and fruit trees in a
diversified smallholder system at La Inmaculada, 1,800 masl.
Seasonal rainfall in the sector affects both flowering cycles and
harvest timelines from year to year, requiring flexibility rather
than fixed schedules.
This lot — composed of Typica and San Salvador —
follows a Washed protocol, with fermentation periods typically
ranging between 40 and 48 hours depending on harvest conditions,
and drying under covered structures. Improving post-harvest
consistency through closer monitoring of fermentation periods is
the focus of his ongoing work at the farm. Orange blossom, apricot,
and toffee — a profile that rewards the care put into a
deceptively straightforward process.
