Ecuador Alambi

About This Coffee

This single origin coffee is grown in the northern Andes Mountain Range in Ecuador at 1600 meters altitude, right on the equator. Located near cloud forests in Nanegal, Pichincha, the environment features cool and humid conditions with frequent canopy level cloud cover and shade trees that allow the coffee plants to mature slowly and develop complex flavors. Produced by a cooperative of 6 farmers who combined produce around 500 sacks annually. The varieties include Bourbon, Sidra, and Typica, processed using the washed method. The coffee is medium-bodied, sweet, and velvety with a pleasant lingering finish and buttery mouthfeel.

Vigilante Coffee

Vigilante Coffee started in 2012 on Chris Vigilante's back porch in Washington, DC, with a used three kilogram Diedrich roaster. From that modest beginning, the company grew into a roasting operation now built around a 12 kilogram Loring, with head roaster Franklin Ventura shaping the roast profiles since 2014. Sourcing is personal: Vigilante visits each coffee producer directly, building multiyear relationships and participating in auctions at origin. The company works with Certified B Corp importers and pursues zero waste across its operations, using compostable bags and recyclable packaging. Vigilante earned the Slow Food DC Snail of Approval, a designation that reflects its commitment to quality, transparency, and responsible production.
