Ecuador El Dorado Wush Wush Natural

About this coffee

El Dorado Farm is run by the Elder family, who bought it in 2017. It is also part of the cooperative ChocoVilcaMundo (CVM), an Ecuadorian agricultural company owned by Bernard Uhe and his coffee-growing family from Colombia. The Elders and CVM worked together on a plan to grow almonds, but later decided to grow coffee instead. After finding the best seeds, the Elder Family and CVM started growing award-winning specialty coffee.

In Elder’s family words, “What makes our coffee so good is the high elevation, good soil, mineral-rich mountain water, high-nutrient shade trees, 12 hours of sunlight year-round, and the use of neem and worm tea on the plants as a natural pesticide and fertiliser, which increases the vitality of the coffee plant and coffee beans. This produces a delicious, healthy cup of coffee.”

El Dorado Farm’s first-year Green Geisha harvest took 13 th place in the 2021 Cup of Excellence with a score of 88.52. The farm’s Green Geisha placed 4th in the 2022 Cup of Excellence with a score of 89.10. The farm’s Green Geisha placed 6 th in the 2022 Ecuador Taza Dorada with a score of 90.10. In 2023, the farm’s Green Geisha placed 3rd in the Ecuador Golden Cup with a score of 89.75.

In total, El Dorado Farm grows 4 varieties of coffee: Green Geisha, WushWush, Yellow Geisha, SL28, and the farm planted in 2024 a 5 th variety, Sidra, which is producing its first harvest this year.
