Loja is recognized as one of Ecuador's premier coffee origins and has gained international recognition for producing coffees with excellent balance, acidity, and distinctive terroir expression.

On the palate, it delivers a sharp, mouth-brightening acidity on the front with a lingering sweet-tart finish reminiscent of kumquat and mandarin.")
