- Variety: Mejorado - Country: Ecuador - Region: Loja, Putushio - Process: Washed - Altitude: 2222 MASL - Harvest: January 2026 - Producer: Jose Jijon - Farm: Fincas Del Putushio - Roast Level: Extra-Light In the cup We taste sweet pears, jammy apricots, and a confectionary sweetness reminiscent of marshmallows. This coffee has a light body and a long sweet 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. 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 $66 USD/KG Roasted Costs 85.60 USD/KG This Mejorado is from Fincas del Putushio and producer Jose Jijon is the son of Pepe Jijon, an award winning producer from Ecuador. Jose is a 19-year-old aspiring producer who has a deep passion for coffee. This is our fourth harvest of Putushio from Jose. This is an extra-light roast variant of El Burro lot F. Our Extra-lights are extremely light roasts that often sacrifice intensity, sweetness and acidity for clarity.
