The story

José Jijón developed new plantings at Finca San Pedro with his father, Pepe Jijón. The farm is also part of the Fincas del Putushio project associated with Pepe Jijón and Francisco Vintimilla; SEY’s individual releases distinguish José’s harvest passes from collaborative lots.

Challenges

The farm is situated in a dry, rugged landscape that requires careful management of water resources for coffee cultivation. Producers also face regional pressures from mining activities that threaten the local environment and community.

Innovations

Documented lots use careful washed processing and raised-bed drying. The July 25, 2024 second harvest was depulped on harvest day and dry-fermented overnight; Lot #30 from May 2025 added a two-day oxidized whole-cherry hold before depulping. These steps are lot-specific.

Published coffees linked to this farm

For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.

Research sources & verification

These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
