Bosque Seco Blend — coffee from the rarest ecosystem on Earth.
Specialty coffee grown inside Ecuador's UNESCO dry forest biosphere reserve. Clean, bright, and versatile — available as green coffee or roasted to your profile. SCA 84+ standard, 85+ on request, and every purchase funds conservation.
One blend. One ecosystem. Your cup score.
Bosque Seco Blend is a regional specialty blend from the coffee-growing cantons of the Ecuadorian dry forest. Each harvest we select lots from participating producers who meet the initiative's quality and conservation standards — regional varieties like Typica, Caturra, Bourbon, and Catucai — and integrate them into a clean, bright, versatile profile.
The blend is formulated to SCA 84+ as standard and 85+ on request. Tell us your target cup score and flavor brief, and we adjust the composition — through sample iterations — until the blend hits your number.
| Cup profile | Clean, bright, and balanced — a versatile profile for filter and espresso menus. |
| SCA score | 84+ as standard. 85+ achievable — the blend is adjusted to your target score. |
| Varieties | Regional lots — Typica, Caturra, Bourbon, and Catucai, selected each harvest. |
| Origin | Dry forest cantons of Loja province (Sozoranga, Macará, Celica, Paltas, Pindal, Puyango), 1,500–1,700 masl. |
| Traceability | Farm-level lots, satellite-monitored canopy, EUDR-ready documentation. |
| Formats | Green: 10 kg vacuum bricks or GrainPro-lined 40–69 kg bags. Roasted: bulk whole bean or private label. |
Blend composition rotates by harvest — the cupping score is the constant, not the recipe.
Available green or roasted — your program, your format.
Two commercial pathways, one origin story. Start with a 300–350 g sample kit and cup it against your menu.

One of the rarest ecosystems on Earth.
The Tropical Dry Forest of Southern Ecuador — a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve sheltering extraordinary biodiversity and a coffee terroir unlike any other. Less than 2% of its original extension remains, yet across six coffee-growing cantons — Sozoranga, Macará, Celica, Paltas, Pindal, Puyango — more than 500,000 hectares are managed as a single living landscape under the Mancomunidad Bosque Seco.
Coffee Territories & Biodiversity
Mammal Species
With 54 species (38%) endemic to the Tumbesian valleys.
Bird Species
Recorded across the dry forest coffee-growing region, with 49 Tumbesian endemics.
Endemic Birds
The dry forest coffee territory shelters 83% of all Tumbesian endemic birds in Ecuador.
A story your customers will actually buy.
Roasters don't sell beans — they sell origin stories. The Bosque Seco Blend is one of the strongest origin stories in specialty coffee today, and it is fully verifiable.
The last 2%
A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve where coffee is grown as a conservation tool — not against the forest. Fewer than 2% of this ecosystem remains.
One living landscape
More than 500,000 hectares across six cantons managed as a single territory under the Mancomunidad Bosque Seco.
Verifiable impact
Satellite-monitored canopy, farm-level traceability, and conservation funding per purchase — documented, not claimed.
Menu-ready narrative
A label story your customers can verify: 142 mammal species, 184 bird species, 83% of Tumbesian endemic birds sheltered in the territory.
"The future of coffee depends on conserving the ecosystems that make it possible, strengthening the communities that inhabit them, and building relationships that recognize the true value of the territory."
