Ritual have served up a really special coffee from Ecuador, bright and sweet with jammy peach and soft elderflower floral flavour.

Ecuador’s Shuar community is the country’s second largest indigenous community, living in territories between the Andes and Amazon. The coffee they grow is representative of the Shuar connection between land and life, free from chemicals and cultivated with the utmost care. The word ‘Mamak’ means mother and honours the fertile soils nature has given them.

This washed process lot was picked on small farms in Chinchipe at the very Southern tip of Ecuador at altitudes of up to 1300MASL. After sorting and pulping, it has undergone a 36 hour fermentation period before triple washing and drying for up to 25 days to make a fruity but clean cup.
