This Typica Mejorado from Finca San Pedro in Putushio, Loja is a rare late-harvest lot from Jose and Pepe Jijon, grown at 2,222 metres. We chose it for its honeyed sweetness, floral lift, and remarkable clarity.

Picked at peak ripeness, gently depulped, fermented in spring water, and dried slowly on raised beds, it keeps the profile clean and finely structured. The high elevation gives the cup extra precision without sacrificing sweetness.

Expect honey, blueberry, peach, and white flowers, with a silky texture and an elegant, tea-like finish. The profile stays bright, delicate, and well defined throughout.


Yet beyond the cup, this is a story of family unity and profound respect for the land. By safeguarding biodiversity, nurturing stable microclimates, and valuing their dedicated team’s well-being, Jose and Pepe ensure every bean reflects the heart and soul of Finca San Pedro. This is our first-ever purchase from Finca San Pedro, and it holds a special place in our journey. We hope it finds one in yours too.

Flavour Profile

The shape of the cup, before the flavour notes.

These six scales describe how this coffee presents in the cup — its structure, not its quality. Each position is descriptive, not a score.

Filter and espresso are profiled separately. The profile reflects how the coffee is intended to be brewed.

Perceived sweetness — not sugar. Restrained cups read clean and structured; pronounced cups taste riper and more generous.

Brightness and lift — not sourness. Soft acidity feels gentle and rounded; vibrant acidity has the sparkle of citrus or fresh fruit.

Texture and weight in the mouth — not strength. Tea-like coffees feel light, clean and refined; syrupy coffees feel denser, creamier and more coating.

How strongly the process shapes the taste. Traditional lets the origin speak plainly; expressive adds ferment-led character you can taste in the cup.

How long the flavour stays after the sip. Short finishes end cleanly and reset the palate; long finishes keep evolving after you swallow.

The intensity of the fragrance. Delicate aromatics sit quietly in the cup; strong aromatics reach you before the first sip.
