Papaya & Melon SyOxidator Harmony
Pepe | Ecuador
We are delighted to introduce the SyOxidator Sidra from the esteemed Finca Soledad, crafted by our admired amigo and award-winning producer, Pepe Jijón. This exceptional coffee embodies Pepe's philosophical approach to coffee cultivation—a profound respect for nature and a commitment to revealing the purest expressions of terroir and variety.
The distinctive SyOxidator Washed process begins with freshly picked and meticulously sorted coffee cherries. These cherries undergo open-air aerobic fermentation, encouraging an oxidized transformation that unlocks layers of complex flavours. Following this, they are pulped and sealed in fermentation tanks for 48 hours, allowing further fermentation in their mucilage. Finally, the coffee is washed and dried with precision over 20 days, alternating between indirect and direct sunlight to achieve ideal moisture content and preserve the depth of flavours.
From the moment you open the bag, a gentle cherry aroma promises soft, velvety sweetness. As you sip, ripe papaya and sweet melon notes emerge, carrying through to a soothing, clean finish.
Pepe's philosophical approach shines through in every bean. His profound respect for nature and dedication to revealing the purest expressions of terroir are evident. By gently modulating post-harvest variables like temperature, time, and pressure in harmony with the natural environment, he preserves the coffee's innate qualities, allowing it to express its true character.
Indulging in the SyOxidator Sidra is more than savouring a cup of coffee; it's an immersive experience that connects you to the heart of Ecuadorian coffee craftsmanship and the inspiring vision of Pepe Jijón. Each sip tells a story of dedication, passion, and a deep respect for nature. This coffee holds a special place in our hearts, as it's the first we've purchased from Pepe, marking the beginning of a cherished relationship. We are incredibly fortunate and grateful to share this rare gem with you. Embrace a cup that embodies unparalleled quality and the essence of a remarkable journey from farm to cup.
