From the producer

Pepe Jijón is a dedicated producer who manages Finca Soledad, a biodynamic and organic farm characterized by high biodiversity. He is recognized for his commitment to nature and energy, which he integrates into every lot of coffee he produces.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee highlights this selection as a privileged annual offering from a remarkable farm. They emphasize the coffee's complex profile and the inspiring, environmentally conscious practices of the producer.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

A fully documented September 2025 TyOxy-washed Mejorado from Pepe Jijón’s biodiverse Finca Soledad, kept distinct from the farm’s earlier 63 kg and later second-harvest releases.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Release identity checked

Kept the September 2025 New Season lot separate from earlier and later Finca Soledad TyOxy releases.

Primary facts verified

Confirmed producer, farm, variety, region, altitude, harvest, fermentation sequence, raised-bed drying, tasting notes, green-coffee transparency, and sold-out status from SEY.

Historical commerce structured

Added Cherrybook’s archived $45 price and 250 g package for this exact release.

Roast indicator normalized

Mapped Spro’s exact-release 3/5 roast indicator to the schema’s Medium label; this is catalog metadata, not an owner tasting observation.

What was added?

Structured historical $45 USD retail price for 250 g, Medium roast-level normalization from Spro’s 3/5 indicator, and refreshed exact-release availability and evidence notes.

What wasn't added?

No drying duration, roast date, formal grade, brew recipe, owner tasting score, or public sentiment score was inferred.

Why it matters

This release is now structurally complete enough for fact-checked publication while remaining separate from Finca Soledad’s other TyOxy lots and from any owner tasting review.

What you might taste

SEY reports tree tomato, black currant, and molasses.

Coffee profile

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.

This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.

Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.

The internet pulse

What the internet is saying about this coffee

Research complete — no qualifying reviews yet

Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-11-04) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.

What we found

Spro lists the exact release but reports zero reviews. Cherrybook’s CBI and roaster-level Reddit summary are catalog/context signals, not exact-coffee independent tasting reviews, so they are excluded from public sentiment.

Suggestions are selected from recently updated, published coffee profiles sharing documented origin, farm, producer, variety, process or tasting notes. This is a bounded discovery sample, not an exhaustive catalog ranking; availability is only a dated source observation.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
