Everything grows
at its own altitude.

Coffee, cacao, guayusa and honey, each from the elevation where it actually does well.

EcuProducts is a shop for small Ecuadorian farms. Almost nothing here is made by us: it is made by someone with a name, in a particular place, and we say so.

We buy what they already know how to make

We do not buy their raw material and keep the interesting part of the work. If the farm roasts, we sell their roast. If they make cacao pasta, we sell their pasta, under their name.

We only say what we can show

If there is a certificate we name it and say when it runs out. If we were told it on the visit, we say we were told. If we do not know, it is not written.

Everything comes from somewhere

Every product has a farm, a sector and an altitude. None of them says "from the Andes" and leaves it there.

Sierra

Between 1,200 and 2,800 metres. Cold nights, slow ripening, a sweeter cup.

Costa

Almost at sea level. Where Nacional cacao arrived millennia ago, and where nearly all of it is grown today.

Galápagos

The exception. The Humboldt current cools the islands, so 300 metres here does what 1,800 does on the mainland.
