Among the highlands that surround the cantón of Puyango in the province of Loja, there is a forest called Bosques de Marfil. In the center of this region, crosses a mountain range called El Limo from east to west. In the highlands of this mountain range we were privileged to find a group of approximately 44 small-scale producers. The coffee from Altos de Marfil is grown by coffee growers who have a very long tradition in coffee production. Meaning that they grow traditional varietals, favorable for the production of specialty coee. The average age of these producers are around 60 years. However, most of them are starting to introduce the business to their children in order to continue with the tradition and pass it to future generations.
