Conilon is technically not robusta, though generally lumped in with it. Both are of the species Coffea Canephora but from different genetic groups. Conilon being from group SG1. It is mainly grown in Brazil, and from Brazil it was brought to Ecuador. The beans are smaller and pointed, looking very different from most robusta coffees. We find the mouthfeel to be leaner, acidity slightly more prominant and often aromas of aromatic woods and spices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lot was produced by grower Mauricio Hidalgo in the coastal Guayas province of Ecuador. It took 3rd place in the 2023 Taza Dorada Robusta Competition and stood out to us in judging due to its distinctive aromatics which really set it apart for the other entrants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paradise Coffee","offers":[{"title":"12oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":33350539914,"sku":"ec-taza-dorada","price":45417.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false},{"title":"12oz \/ Auto Drip","offer_id":33350539978,"sku":"ec-taza-dorada-AD","price":45417.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false},{"title":"12oz \/ French Press","offer_id":33350540042,"sku":"ec-taza-dorada-FP","price":45417.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false},{"title":"5Lb \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":32178590646377,"sku":"ec-taza-dorada-5","price":272503.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1403\/7057\/products\/TAZA-DORADA.jpg?v=1683673034","url":"https:\/\/paradiseroasters.com\/ko-kr\/products\/ecuador-specialty-robusta","provider":"Paradise Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
