The art of producing a great fruit-forward coffee lies in achieving a balanced flavour profile. While the fruitiness is the highlight, it is harmoniously balanced with sweetness, body and a clean finish. This is the mark of skilled coffee processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"extraPaff\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout Typica Mejorado\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"extraPaff\"\u003eTypica Mejorado — literally “improved Typica” — is one of the rarest varieties in specialty coffee, and one of the most misleadingly named. It was identified in Ecuador, where growers around Loja and Pichincha noticed a Typica-looking tree that cupped nothing like Typica at all. Later genetic work suggested the variety is not pure Typica but carries Ethiopian landrace material, placing it much closer to the Gesha family than to the Latin American lineage its appearance implies. The name stuck regardless, and the variety has since travelled from Ecuador into the experimental blocks of Colombia’s competition farms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"extraPaff\"\u003eIt is not an easy plant to farm. Typica Mejorado is low-yielding, slow to mature and offers little resistance to leaf rust, which means a producer plants it knowing they are trading volume for quality. Very few are willing to give up the space. What they get in return is a cup with unusual delicacy — a tea-like body, high floral aromatics and a sweetness that reads as tropical rather than caramel. It is a variety that rewards clarity and perfume over sheer intensity, which is exactly why it keeps appearing on competition tables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"extraPaff\"\u003eIn Adrian’s hands, and taken through a natural Fruit Forward Berry Ensemble ferment, that delicacy is pushed toward the fruit end of the spectrum without losing its shape. Expect watermelon and ripe mango up front, a sugarcane-syrup sweetness through the middle, and a berry lift that carries into a clean, dry finish. It is a genuinely rare variety from one of Colombia’s most exacting producers, and we bought a very small amount of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column column2\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEl Diviso\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.centralcoastcoffee.com.au\/collections\/el-diviso\"\u003eEl Diviso\u003c\/a\u003e is a family-run coffee farm located in the highlands of Pitalito, Huila, Colombia, at elevations ranging from 1,750 to over 1,900 metres above sea level.
