Finca Soledad Washed Wave Experimental Typica Mejorado By Pepe Jijón

OriginEcuador

ProcessExtended Fermentation, Washed

Summary

Single-lot Ecuadorian coffee from Finca Soledad in the Intag Valley, Imbabura, grown at approximately 1,700 m.a.s.l. by Pepe Jijón & Family. The variety is Typica Mejorado, processed with Pepe Jijón's Wave Experimental washed method: 72 hours of cold cherry fermentation, 48 hours of cold mucilage fermentation after depulping, a two-day shaded parchment rest, then roughly 15 days of dark-room dehydration followed by 15 days of slow shaded drying. The cup opens with hibiscus and oolong tea, lifted by orange and lime, developing ripe mango and white grape with honeyed sweetness as it cools. Vibrant, refined acidity and a silky, tea-like texture lead to a long, transparent floral finish.
