Witoca: Specialty Robusta Coffee from the Heart of the Amazon

Witoca: Specialty Robusta Coffee from the Heart of the Amazon

For too long, the Amazon has been treated as an endless resource. Witoca was born to change that narrative — proving that specialty coffee can uplift communities and protect the forest. “Witoca” means spirit of the forest that heals, and every bag of coffee expresses that purpose.

Amazonian Specialty Coffee with Purpose

Witoca cultivates robusta coffee under the ancestral chakra agroforestry system in the buffer zones of Sumaco National Park. This regenerative approach preserves biodiversity, nurtures soil health and creates a vibrant terroir that’s unmistakable in the cup. Through careful post‑harvest practices — from selective picking and precision fermentation to thoughtful drying and roasting — Witoca consistently meets specialty coffee standards on the SCA scale.
