Farm and Producer

Pepe Jijón farms Finca Soledad in Ecuador's Intag Valley, Imbabura. His move from mountaineering into coffee led to a small planted area within a much larger cloud-forest property. The farm grows Gesha, Sidra and Mejorado, keeping the selections separate through processing.

Variety

Gesha, also spelled Geisha, is an Arabica variety with Ethiopian origins. It is valued for high cup-quality potential and floral aromatics, especially under suitable high-elevation growing conditions. Its expression also depends on cultivation, processing, and roasting.

Processing

Wave refers to Pepe Jijón's use of changing temperatures through fermentation, moving coffee from warmer to cooler conditions with tanks and refrigeration. This washed preparation includes mosto, the juice collected from fermenting coffee cherries, before the coffee receives its washed finish and is dried.
