The Taza Dorada contest has been held for many years. Coffee farmers submit their high-quality coffee raw beans for national and international evaluation to determine which are the best micro-batches, which can be said to be Ecuador's COE. Unlike the COE system, Taza Dorada does not adopt an auction system, and the winning batches of raw coffee beans will almost be booked by buyers who know the goods.

Small farmers in this region still maintain the fine tradition of growing traditional varieties such as Typica, Caturra and Bourbon, which has been the key to their success.

The climate is very special in this area, humid almost all the year round, and the temperature fluctuates very comfortably, from 12 to 28 degrees Celsius, averaging about 20 degrees Celsius. This weather is very suitable for the growth of Ecuadorian coffee beans and reflects the flavor in the cup.

Most of the typical coffee and raw bean estates in southern Ecuador are organically grown, and the crops are very diverse. Corn, cabbage, bananas, bees, cattle, fish, fruit and coffee are grown together. Coffee leaf embroidery disease has been a threat to coffee bean producers in the region, and leaf rust has reduced Colombia's coffee production by 50% for a year or two. The simplest solution against leaf rust is intensive chemical applications, but coffee farmers in the region take a more determined organic approach because of their respect for the environment.
