2025 Pepe Jijón; Finca Soledad, New Season - Ecuador

Pepe Jijón is love, nature, and energy—all of which he pours into every lot of coffee he produces. This is another very small, regenerative, and organic selection, and each year we are privileged to work with these remarkable coffees. In the cup we find tree tomato, black currant, and molasses.

The 2025 Pepe Jijón release from Finca Soledad represents the latest seasonal offering from Ecuador, produced by Pepe Jijón. This lot is brought to market by Sey Coffee, a roaster known for highlighting the distinct characteristics of high-quality origins. When evaluating coffees with complex profiles, tasters often find it helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better articulate the nuances of specific fruit and sugar-browning notes.

In this particular selection, the cup profile is defined by the roaster’s notes of tree tomato, black currant, and molasses. While general coffee profiles vary significantly based on processing and terroir, these specific descriptors suggest a vibrant, layered experience. As a new season arrival from Ecuador, this coffee serves as a compelling example of the work being done at Finca Soledad, offering a focused look at the current output from this producer.
