Jose Jijon

José Jijón is an Ecuadorian coffee producer working across the Jijón family’s Finca Soledad in Imbabura and high-elevation projects in Loja. At Finca Soledad he developed Zero, his first processing method of his own design, as the opening experiment in a new series.

History

Jose Jijon began his journey in coffee by helping his father, José Ignacio Jijon Freile, develop Finca Soledad from scratch. He later expanded his efforts to the high-altitude site of Fincas del Putushio in the Loja region. He continues to manage coffee production with a focus on high-elevation terroir and experimental processing.
