This is another stunning release from Pepe Jijon. His innovative processing techniques produce remarkably clean and vibrant profiles reminiscent of coffees from Kenya or the best of Espírito Santo. In the cup we find currants, hibiscus, and a vibrant, articulated structure. ABOUT PEPE JIJON Pepe Jijon is an inspiring producer with an inspiring farm. Finca Soledad is a biodynamic organic farm with some of the most biodiversity we've ever seen. He produces only Sidra, Gesha, and Mejorado on a 4-hectare (~10 acres) parcel of land nestled within 120 hectares (~300 acres) of cloud forest. Soledad is also a community-oriented project where Pepe and his family support and employ single mothers abandoned by their husbands. ABOUT MEJORADO Mejorado is a very unique variety mainly grown in Ecuador. Though it is colloquially known as Typica Mejorado, we now know — thanks to genetic testing by World Coffee Reseach — that it is actually a Bourbon variety cross-pollinated with an Ethiopian Landrace variety.
