Ecuador Sidra Anaerobic Washed - Finca Soledad

From Ecuador’s Intag Valley, this coffee by Pepe Jijon of Finca Soledad brings an exciting twist through the Sydra Anaerobic process. Carefully fermented without oxygen for 48 hours in cherry form, followed by another 48-hour mucilage fermentation, this method accentuates complex aromas and deepens the coffee’s sensory experience. Afterward, the beans undergo meticulous drying for 40 days in a precisely managed environment, preserving their vibrant and nuanced character. Expect juicy notes of ripe mango, delicate jasmine florals, a buttery mouthfeel, and the exotic sweetness of rambutans. Every sip reveals the thoughtful precision, innovative technique, and commitment to sustainability that defines Pepe’s approach to specialty coffee.

Producer Q & A

How did you come into working in coffee?

My journey into the world of coffee was the result of a deep connection with nature, which has always inspired me, along with the history and passion we share on the farm. Over the years, I have had the privilege of witnessing how coffee cultivation is not only an agricultural endeavor but also a manifestation of love and commitment to the land, the community that inhabits it, and the unique flavor that this bean offers us. Working with coffee is an extension of our dedication to preserving traditions, continuously improving quality, and, above all, sharing the fruit of this effort with those who truly appreciate a great cup of coffee.

What makes this harvest or lot different from others?

What sets this harvest or lot apart from the others is our never ending aim of achieving every year a more comprehensive and dedicated approach at every stage of the process. We take pride in having optimal control over all the variables that affect the coffee’s quality, from tree care to harvesting and processing. Every step is designed to maximize flavor and freshness, using passionate and sustainable methods that reflect our constant pursuit of improvement. Moreover, our values and principles, such as respect for nature and commitment to the community, play a key role. This deep connection with the coffee, the land that cultivates it, and the people who produce it gives each lot a unique identity, ensuring that every cup is a true expression of who we are and what we stand for. And apart from that we know that coffee as life itself is a continuous curve of growth and that theres really no finish to the amount of things you can learn and improve

What would you say separates your coffee from others?

What separates our coffee from others is the comprehensive care and passion we put into every stage of the process. From cultivation to the cup, we ensure that each bean is treated with the utmost attention to detail, using sustainable and environmentally respectful practices. Furthermore, our deep connection with the farm, nature, and the local community allows us to achieve exceptional quality that reflects our dedication. Each coffee we produce is an extension of our story and values, including respect for the land, commitment to fair trade, and a drive for continuous improvement. This allows us to offer a coffee with a unique flavor profile, where each cup tells a story and becomes a genuine experience for those who enjoy it. While also helping us take care of nature and our community

What does your day consist of managing the farm or farms?

My daily routine managing the farms involves a combination of tasks that are crucial to ensuring the quality of the coffee and the smooth operation of all activities. It begins with the meticulous care of the trees, ensuring they receive the proper maintenance and protection from pests and diseases. Additionally, I oversee the various cultivation and harvesting processes to ensure they are carried out to the highest standards. Planning new processes is essential for continuous improvement, so I dedicate time to evaluating and implementing innovations that optimize both production and coffee quality.

What opportunities are you looking for from people who buy your coffee or work with you currently?

What we seek from the people who buy our coffee or collaborate with us is an opportunity to expand our story and values to new audiences around the world. We want every cup of coffee that reaches consumers to reflect not only the exceptional quality of the product but also the story of effort, passion, and dedication behind each bean. By working with people who share our vision, we aim to create a network that values coffee not just as a product, but as an experience that connects communities, promotes sustainability, and fosters fair trade. In this way, we can reach more parts of the world, spreading our philosophy and allowing more people to enjoy a coffee that respects both the land and the people who produce it.

Where does your sense of passion for coffee come from?

My passion for coffee comes from a deep connection with the land and the people who work it. Since we began this journey, I have learned that coffee is much more than a beverage; it is the result of a process that involves care, dedication, and a profound respect for nature. Each coffee bean we cultivate is a testament to the story we share with our farm and the community that supports us. Passion for coffee is also fueled by the traditions we have inherited and the constant pursuit of quality and improvement. Seeing how each cup can tell a story and connect people motivates me to continue working with dedication and love for this bean that has brought us together on so many levels.

Are you looking to grow relationships with long-term partners?

Yes, we are committed to cultivating long-term relationships with partners who share our vision and values. We believe that success in the coffee world is not only based on the quality of the product but also on mutual trust and respect. By working with partners who share our commitment to sustainability, quality, and fair trade, we can build a strong network that benefits all parties involved. Long-term relationships allow us to continuously improve processes, innovate together, and create an authentic coffee experience that reflects the effort and dedication of everyone involved in this project. This ongoing collaboration helps us strengthen our impact on the community and expand the reach of our story.

Feel free to share anything on your mind about the industry or yourself. We sell not just to consumers but to the industry, which often looks at what we buy and tries to buy it too, benefiting everyone.

As a coffee producer deeply rooted in regenerative agriculture, my message is simple: nature’s health is our health. Every step we take on our farms is with the intention of not just producing great coffee, but restoring and enhancing the land. By working with nature, not against it, we ensure that the soil remains rich and the ecosystems thrive. For consumers and roasters, the connection to the source is crucial. Every cup of coffee should tell a story—not just of flavor, but of care, sustainability, and respect for the earth. Let’s keep pushing for a future where quality and care for nature are the standard, not the exception.
