- Variety: Mejorado - Country: Ecuador - Region: Loja, Putushio - Process: Washed - Altitude: 2222 MASL - Producer: Jose Jijon + Pepe Jijon + Francisco Vintimilla - Farm: Fincas Del Putushio - Roast Level: Extra-Light In the cup We taste fresh green grapes, sparkling lemon-lime, and sweet yellow plum. We love Mejorado for its deep sweetness, but this mejorado is also sparkling clean. This coffee has a very light body and a clean finish. CleanFunky TerroirExperimental 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. They are 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 traditionally washed. The Mejorado is picked and depulped the same day and left overnight in dry parchment. The coffee is then rinsed 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. Transparency Direct $77 USD/KG Roasted Costs $103.55 USD/KG This stunning Mejorado is from Fincas del Putushio and producer Jose Jijon.

This is our fifth harvest from Putushio and Jose, and we are proud to be trusted as the only roaster in Canada to feature this coffee. This is an extra-light roast varient of this coffee. Extra-lights are roast profiles that emphasize clarity over acidity or sweetness, and require additional rest time.
