From the producer

Alfonso Villagomez, a former environmental consultant, began coffee production at his family’s three-generation San Agustin Estate in 2014.

From the roaster

Ripe cherries are rinsed, sorted and floated, held in sealed tanks for 48 hours or until pH reaches 3.5–3.6, then dried for 21–28 days in solar- and gas-powered oreadores before stabilization in Quito.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A precisely controlled Ecuador natural from a humid growing area: monitored sealed-tank fermentation and adjustable solar and gas drying deliver a clean, aromatic expression of Ethiopian Heirloom.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Sort and float

Fresh ripe cherries were rinsed, sorted and floated at the farm.

02
Controlled fermentation

Whole cherries rested in sealed tanks for 48 hours or until pH reached 3.5–3.6.

03
Slow drying

Coffee dried in controlled oreadores for 21–28 days to 9–11% moisture before stabilization in Quito.

What was added?

Nothing was disclosed as added during processing.

What wasn't added?

No fruit, flavoring or commercial culture addition was disclosed.

Why it matters

In a humid area, controlled heat and humidity help natural coffee dry evenly while preserving clarity.

What you might taste

Jasmine, blueberry and vanilla with jammy fruit, juicy sweetness and a layered finish.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-11-07) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Method: require an independently authored tasting or attributable rating for Dark Woods’ exact Ethiopian-Heirloom natural release. CoffeeComparer and other catalog/profile pages were not counted as reviews; San Agustin coffees from other roasters, varieties or processes were excluded.
