Pichincha (Andean north, incl. Quito hinterlands)

Farming system

Mixed altitudes; some very high, some marginal.

Coffee competes with other land uses.

Processing reality

Washed.

Drying feasibility varies sharply by micro-zone.

Supply chain + power

Lots often consolidated into regional blends.

Specialty depends on exporter micro-selection.

Buyer truth

Require municipio + altitude, not just “Pichincha”.
