Galo Morales & María Alexandra Rivera – Fermented Honey Sidra - Ecuador

In the lush hills of San José de Minas, Galo Morales Flores and Maria Alexandra Rivera carry forward nearly a century of coffee tradition at Finca Cruz Loma. Their family’s approach blends science, intuition, and patience — hand-selecting Sidra cherries, fermenting them in honey for depth, and drying them slowly on raised screens under the Andean sun. The result is a cup that mirrors their craft: floral yet grounded, rich without excess, and alive with notes of chamomile, lime, lemongrass, and milk chocolate. Galo’s dedication to experimentation and Maria’s eye for detail have made Cruz Loma a cornerstone of Ecuador’s coffee renaissance — a reminder that mastery and warmth can coexist in every harvest.
