## What the Brand Says

> - Variety: Mejorado - Country: Ecuador - Region: Loja, Putushio - Process: Washed - Altitude: 2222 MASL - Harvest: April 2025 - Producer: Jose Jijon - Farm: Fincas Del Putushio - Roast Level: Extra-light In the cup We get a sweet profile of sugar and juicy citrus like peaches, berries, delicate white florals and a bright malic acidity that reminds us of pears. This coffee has a silky light body with a long clean finish. Clean Funky Terroir Experimental About The Producer Pepe Jijon is an inspiring producer with an inspiring farm: Finca Soledad. His Son, Jose, has been learning and working at Soledad for much of his life. His farm, San Pedro, and Francisco's farm are what make up Fincas Del Putushio. A sister farm duo creating the next evolution in coffee farming for the Jijon family. September is proud to support Jose and Pepe's hard work at Putushio. The farm is very small with limited production so we are very lucky and thankful to have some of his coffee this year. Processing This coffee is traditional washed processed. Coffee is picked and depulped the same day, left overnight in dry parchment. Washed in fresh spring water and slow dried on covered raised beds for thirty days. Variety Mejorado has become the gem of Ecuador. Although it’s certainly similar in name to Typica, Typica Mejorado is not related to this variety. It is now known to be a cross-pollination of Bourbon and Ethiopian Landrace. Direct $66USD/KG Son of Pepe Jijon, award winning producer from Ecuador, Jose is a 19 year old aspiring producer who has a deep passion for coffee. Our second time releasing a coffee from Putushio + Jose, this harvest is even better than the last, as this Mejorado is very sweet, floral and bright. This is an extra-light roast variant. We recommend our Extra-light roasts for experienced brewers willing to wait up to five weeks after roast for best results. Extra-light profiles sacrifice initial sweetness and intensity for clarity.
