Pepe Jijón is an exceptional producer managing an equally extraordinary farm—Finca Soledad. More than just a coffee estate, Soledad is a social initiative where Pepe and his family support and employ single mothers who have been abandoned by their husbands. Dedicated exclusively to cultivating Typica Mejorada, Geisha, and Sydra varieties, this tiny farm yields an extremely limited production. We feel deeply privileged to feature his coffee this year.

The term "Onda" (wave) refers to a continuous temperature wave cycle—moving from high to low temperatures using fermentation tanks and cooling units—designed to keep the coffee seed embryo alive during processing.
