Description
Nestled in the fertile lands of Palanda, in Ecuador’s Southern Amazon region, Edwin Calva’s coffee farm is a blend of heritage and innovation. Inherited from his father, the farm has been transformed through Edwin’s dedication and the expertise he gained as a member of the APECAP Association. Through this experience, he mastered coffee tasting and post-harvest processes, which he has thoughtfully implemented on his family’s land.
Palanda, a region renowned for its productivity in both coffee and cocoa, benefits from the support of the local prefecture and NGOs, driving development in coffee farming. This area of Zamora Chinchipe has become a hub for specialty coffee production, thanks to the introduction of improved Typica and Nestlé hybrid varieties four years ago, a step taken on the recommendation of the APECAP Association.
Looking forward to 2025, Edwin Calva’s farm will embark on a new phase of growth by adopting enhanced post-harvest techniques with the guidance of technical experts. These efforts are aimed at continuously improving the quality of his coffee, ensuring it meets the highest standards of specialty coffee production.
Edwin Calva’s farm is a testament to the power of tradition, education, and innovation, producing exceptional coffee that reflects the richness of Palanda’s agricultural landscape.
