Klauss Grattringer owns and operates Finca El Guarangal, which sits at an astonishing 1900 meters in the Pichincha region of Ecuador. Finca El Guarangal is roughly 40 hectares, only 3 of which are planted in coffee.
Klauss observed that most of his neighbours grow fruit on small plots of land, but he hopes to acquire more land to test a new variety of coffee and continue on his path to producing more exceptional coffees.
Ecuador has incredible flavour potential and we love coffees from there. The general price of Ecuadorian coffee is very high, but the livelihoods of the farmers are usually much better than other neighbouring producing countries.
