Our Story
From the heart of Ecuador to your cup… Fair coffee, coffee with soul.
Yuedari was born from a personal story, deep roots, and a clear passion: to bring origin coffee—honest and of high quality—straight to your cup.
The brand was founded in Spain by an Ecuadorian entrepreneur who grew up surrounded by coffee plantations and decided to unite his two worlds: Ecuador and Spain. This is how a project began that directly connects the coffee mountains of Fundochamba, in southern Ecuador, with our roaster in Tobarra (Albacete).
From Origin to Cup, Without Unnecessary Intermediaries
At Yuedari, we work with our own plantations as well as with small local coffee growers from the Fundochamba and San Antonio de Las Sagradas regions, part of the Quilanga canton in Loja—a privileged area for specialty coffee cultivation. All our coffee is grown at altitudes between 1,800 and 2,000 meters, where the climate, elevation, and soil allow the beans to ripen slowly, developing complex and balanced aromatic profiles.
Harvesting is done traditionally and by hand, selecting only the cherries at their optimal ripeness, respecting the rhythms of the land and the work of the producer.
In addition, we are part of the local association ASOCAFEX, which brings together coffee growers from the region and promotes sustainable practices, quality, training, and fairer trade for those who make their living from coffee.
Processes That Make the Difference
Each coffee tells a unique story depending on its processing method. At Yuedari, we mainly work with three methods, carefully attending to every detail from the origin:
-
Washed Coffee: A clean and precise process that highlights bright acidity, clarity in the cup, and fresh, defined notes.
-
Natural Coffee: Dried with the fruit pulp, it produces more intense, sweet, and fruity coffees with a pronounced body.
-
Honey Coffee: A balance between the two, where part of the mucilage is left during drying, creating complex, silky profiles with natural sweetness.
Every batch is processed with care to preserve its identity and potential.
Roasted in Spain, Designed for You
The coffee travels green from Ecuador to Spain, where we roast it artisanally in Tobarra, using different roasting methods tailored to each origin and process. This allows us to control quality at every step and offer fresh, balanced coffee full of nuances.
Specialty Coffee at a Fair Price
We believe specialty coffee shouldn’t be an inaccessible luxury. That’s why we commit to reasonable pricing and fair trade, where the coffee grower receives fair compensation and the consumer enjoys exceptional coffee without overpaying.
Yuedari is more than just coffee.
It’s origin, respect, tradition, and connection between people.
From Fundochamba to Tobarra.
From the mountain to your cup.
