The Story

In a region located along the Andes mountain range, northwest of the province of Pichincha, there are six small-scale coffee growers with a particular vision of coffee production. These farmers always work to produce outstanding coffee and have dedicated themselves to produce a unique profile that will capture the attention of anyone who tastes it.

Very close to this region, near the Bellavista Nature Reserve (often known as the Cloud Forest Reserve), there is a famous guesthouse called Alambi. People come here from all over the world to enjoy the view of dozens of hummingbirds in the small garden. Some stay for just an hour while passing through while others stay the night in this special place. Alambi means water and the name was given to this place due to the numerous water sources that can be found in the area.
