We were honored that Paradise’s Miguel Meza was invited to be the Head Judge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Coffee from Don Luis Gavidia in Cascales Sucumbios Province in the Amazon rainforest took 2nd place. We have twice visited his farm which is just outside of the town of Lago Agrio where the Taza Dorada competition is held. His farm is a mix of Robusta coffee and Cacao, Don Luis also makes and sells his own chocolate to the local market as well as a a very interesting wine made from the fruit of cacao.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis natural processed coffee was produced from the locally developed Napopayomino variety. This variety produces larger beans than other varieties and has taken several of the top spots in the cupping competition every year. This coffee wonderfully shows the potential of attentive processing applied to this species. A full creamy mouth-feel and pleasant fruit and caramel like flavors with dried banana and spice in the aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e After over two decades of promoting Ecuador’s Taza Dorada Arabica - a competition akin to the Cup of Excellence - ANECAFE initiated Ecuador’s first specialty Taza Dorada Robusta competition in 2016.  The project intends to build a new quality market for robusta coffee, yielding higher prices for farmers. As climate change pushes arabica coffees out of reach for many Ecuadorian farmers, some now have a new diversification option: specialty robusta coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"middle-part\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"general-page single-page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-md-8 blog-box\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"post-10291 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-climate-change category-events category-farmer-organizations category-markets tag-borderlands tag-ecuador tag-fathers-table tag-miguel-meza tag-robusta tag-taza-dorada\" id=\"post-10291\"\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"entry-content\"\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eWe recommend brewing this great coffee via espresso and\/or french press. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paradise Coffee","offers":[{"title":"12oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":45081133744418,"sku":"TD-Robusta","price":37848.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false},{"title":"12oz \/ Auto Drip","offer_id":45081133777186,"sku":"TD-Robusta-AD","price":37848.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false},{"title":"12oz \/ French Press","offer_id":45081133809954,"sku":"TD-Robusta-FP","price":37848.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false},{"title":"5Lb \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":45081134006562,"sku":"TD-Robusta-5","price":227010.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1403\/7057\/files\/calixto_rivera.heic?v=1761136126","url":"https:\/\/paradiseroasters.com\/ko-kr\/products\/ecuador-taza-dorada-robusta-4th-place","provider":"Paradise Coffee Roasters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
