From the producer

Pepe Jijón operates Finca Soledad, a biodynamic and organic farm in Ecuador that prioritizes biodiversity and community support. The farm is situated within a large cloud forest, where the family cultivates select varieties like Sidra, Gesha, and Mejorado.

From the roaster

Sey Coffee is a Brooklyn-based roastery that focuses on sourcing exceptional single-origin coffees and roasting them to highlight their natural, inherent characteristics. They maintain a Nordic-style approach that emphasizes clarity and brightness in the cup.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Finca Soledad grows coffee on four hectares inside a much larger cloud-forest property using regenerative, organic practices. This Sidra lot pairs that farm context with a short whole-cherry hold and washed preparation.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

Twelve-hour cherry hold

Peak-ripe cherry was held in open tanks for 12 hours before depulping.

Washed and dried

The lot was washed and dried on raised beds according to exact-release retailer documentation.

What was added?

Verified Imbabura, 1,515 m, March 2026 harvest, processing steps, exact-release price, package size, and editorial sections.

What wasn't added?

No owner score, formal grade, invented drying duration, or public sentiment score was added.

Why it matters

The farm practices and short whole-cherry hold distinguish this Sidra release without overstating unreported technical details.

What you might taste

SEY lists eucalyptus honey, lemon tea, and white florals.

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.
