ROAST: Light ORIGIN: Finca Soledad, Imbabura, Ecuador NOTES: Oolong Tea, Lily, Pineapple This Sidra from Pepe Jijón at Finca Soledad is a fascinating exploration of oxidation, fermentation, and the extraordinary potential of one of Ecuador’s most distinctive coffee varieties. Through his SyOxy process, Pepe uses controlled oxidation alongside fermentation to create a cup with unusual depth and structure. The result is floral and tea-like, but with a surprisingly full body — opening with delicate lily aromatics and the layered character of oolong tea before moving into bright tropical sweetness. Pineapple leads the fruit profile, joined by a softer peach-tea sweetness and lively citric acidity. The finish turns dry and elegant, lingering with florals and tea long after the cup is gone.
