Fincas Del Putushio (Extra-Light)
Son of Pepe Jijon, award winning producer from Ecuador, Jose is a 19 year old aspiring producer who has a deep passion for coffee. Our third crop from Putushio with Jose, this harvest is truly special, as this Mejorado is very sweet, floral and bright with a sparkling acidity. This Extra-light roast is delicate and aromatic and sacrifices intensity of acidity and perceived sweetness. We recommend this roast for ultra-light roast lovers only, and our (regular) light roast for most.

About The Producer
Pepe Jijon is an inspiring producer with an inspiring farm: Finca Soledad. His Son, Jose, has been learning and working at Soledad for much of his life. His farm, San Pedro, and Francisco's farm are what make up Fincas Del Putushio. A sister farm duo creating the next evolution in coffee farming for the Jijon family. September is proud to support Jose and Pepe's hard work at Putushio. The farm is very small with limited production so we are very lucky and thankful to have some of his coffee this year.
Processing
This coffee is traditional washed processed. Coffee is picked and depulped the same day, left overnight in dry parchment. Washed in fresh spring water and slow dried on covered raised beds for thirty days.
Variety
Mejorado has become the gem of Ecuador. Although it’s certainly similar in name to Typica, Typica Mejorado is not related to this variety. It is now known to be a cross-pollination of Bourbon and Ethiopian Landrace.
