Cupping review
This is a mutation of Sydra cultivar. Tastes super clean and almost hard to detect that this is a natural process coffee. This coffee is bright and juicy with perfumed notes of wild strawberry, black berries, juniper and sweet notes of ginger ale.

Pepe Jijon a.k.a Finca La Soledad is a legendary and current most successful producer in Specialty Coffee industry, who would also represent Ecuadorian coffee scene: his coffee have become competitors favorite coffee in both international and domestic stage
In May. 2022, Pepe contacted us and since then we have been working to import his coffee directly to our roastery. We are so excited to roast his signature "Tyoxidator" Mejorado lot. As we are always seeking for something as vibrant and intense as Geisha, his Typica Mejorado is the perfect choice for our ambition on non-Geisha cultivars.
Pepe's farm is literally an artisanal family farm that specializes in world class/competition grade coffee: the only 4 hectares plots are nurturing his amazing Geisha, Sydra and Mejorado with refined processing.

Pepe and us have been discussing about bringing this coffee here since last June. This very rare coffee has everything what we look for in a Sydra cultivar lot. Especially the ginger ale flavors reminds us of some of the best Sydra washed we've tried before. According to him, this cultivar is a mutation from the world purest Sydra cultivar. His super clean natural process boosts the juiciness and brightness of tiny and dense cultivar so that its unique flavors shine more.
