A clean, balanced washed Ecuador single origin built for clarity

Ecuador Pallani Sidra Washed is a light-roast single origin from the Pallani farm in Chimborazo, Ecuador. Grown by Dayana Aguirre and washed by the neighbouring Lugmapata farm, this Sidra-variety coffee leans into balance and transparency — dried fig, plum and honey with a soft rooibos finish. Ideal for filter brewers who love a clean, gentle cup.

About This Coffee

On the western slopes of the Ecuadorian Andes, in the Pallatanga region of Chimborazo, two small farms work side by side. Pallani, led by Dayana Aguirre, grows its cherries with quiet patience. Lugmapata, just next door, has spent years refining the craft of processing.

This lot is the result of their collaboration — the Amigo Project, from amigo, the Spanish word for “friend.” Pallani brings the fruit; Lugmapata brings the hands that shape it. Cherries grown under the same sun, wind and soil pass from one farm to the next, where washed-processing methods honed over many seasons draw out their clearest expression.

This is not a single-estate coffee but something more interesting: a cup built on complementarity. Rather than reaching for bold individuality, it speaks through balance, clarity and stability — a quiet Pallatanga terroir made legible through careful hands.

How to Brew Ecuador Pallani

Filter
Brewing ratio 1 : 16
Ground coffee 16g
Total water 240ml
Water temperature 94–97°C
Brew time 2:30 minutes

If the cup tastes thin or sour, grind a touch finer or nudge the water hotter; if it turns bitter or drying, grind coarser. As a light-roast washed coffee, this lot often shows best 2 to 3 weeks after the roast date, once it has had time to settle.

How Much Coffee Is in a Bag?

At the 16g filter dose above, a 200g bag brews about 12 cups and a 500g bag about 31 cups. Sidra is a rare, prized variety and this is a small Ecuadorian lot — enough mornings to get to know it properly, while it lasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this coffee better for filter or espresso?
Filter. This is a light-roast washed Sidra built for clarity, so pour-over, V60 or batch brew show off its dried fig, plum and honey notes best. It can be pulled as espresso, but expect a bright, delicate, tea-like shot.

What does it taste like?
Dried fig, plum and honey with a soft rooibos-tea finish. It is clean and balanced rather than loud — medium-light body, gentle acidity and a smooth, lingering close.

How fresh is it?
We roast to order and ship within one week of your roast date. As a light-roast washed coffee, it often peaks around 2 to 3 weeks after roasting, so there is no rush to brew it on day one.

What grind should I use?
A medium grind for pour-over and filter. Dial from there: finer if the cup tastes thin or sour, coarser if it turns bitter or drying. Keep your ratio near 1:16 for a balanced extraction.

Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. We offer free shipping within Malaysia on orders over RM80. Your coffee is roasted fresh in Kuala Lumpur and dispatched within a week of its roast date.
