Pepe Jijón - La Soledad - Typica Mejorado TyOxy - Légendes

€37.82

Pepe is one of Terres de Café's star farmers, renowned for his incredible coffees and his colorful, passionate personality. We were keen to expand our collaboration with this Typica Mejorado TyOxy, which he presents as the best of his 25/26 production. This batch of Typica undergoes cherry oxidation, is then wet-pulped, and finishes its fermentation anaerobically. A complex process that gives the coffee strength without distorting this superb variety and the terroir that produced it.

Sourcing note

Perched on the top of a mountain completely reforested by the Jijón family, this micro farm is a delight. The house built of bamboo makes us lose our bearings, could we be in Bali? There, Pepe, Monique and their son Juan supervise all the production, with the help of another family who lives in another house on the property. Here, only two varieties, Sidra and Geisha, and ultra-controlled fermentations, and very long dryings, protected from light, which strongly distinguish the profiles of the coffees, all finesse and length.

Tasting note

Notes of red apple, blackberry, and hibiscus.
