Ecuador Carlos Jaramillo

first edition of the Private Collection Auction series in Ecuador: The Ecuador Farmer’s Collection by Qima

Built around smallholder farmers, the collection brings together coffees from across Ecuador’s producing regions, shaped by the country’s geographic diversity, distinctive varieties, and decisions made at farm level.

The programme draws on the same principles that shaped Best of Yemen: careful selection, rigorous evaluation, and international visibility, applied to Ecuador, an origin with its own depth and complexity.

Both Qima Coffee and the Alliance for Coffee Excellence have been working in Ecuador for many years, engaging with producers, institutions, and local partners across the country. We hope this first edition marks the beginning of a new chapter for Ecuadorian coffee.
