Finca Soledad Washed Typica Mejorado TyOxy
ROAST: Light
ORIGIN: Finca Soledad, Imbabura, Ecuador
NOTES: Blood Orange, Panela, Sun Tea
This is Typica Mejorado pushed into a new dimension — expressive, structured, and strikingly clean. Pepe Jijón’s TyOxy washed process delivers a cup that feels vibrant and composed at the same time — citrus-driven, softly floral, and lifted by a tea-like elegance.
Think fresh grapefruit zest cutting through ripe apricot sweetness, with the gentle warmth of sun-steeped tea tying it all together. It’s bright but grounded, complex yet incredibly drinkable.
About Mejorado
Mejorado is one of Ecuador’s most distinctive and intriguing coffee varieties, found almost exclusively within the country’s highland farms. Long referred to as Typica Mejorado due to its elegant structure and cup profile, recent genetic research by World Coffee Research has revealed a different story.
Rather than a Typica derivative, Mejorado is actually a natural cross between a Bourbon variety and an Ethiopian landrace — combining the sweetness and balance of Bourbon with the floral intensity and aromatic lift typically found in Ethiopia’s heirloom coffees.
The result is a variety that delivers remarkable clarity, vibrant acidity, and layered complexity — often drawing comparisons to Gesha, while maintaining a character entirely its own.
TyOxy Washed – The Process
The TyOxy process is Pepe’s continued evolution of washed coffee — focusing on controlled oxygen exposure during fermentation to shape acidity, sweetness, and aromatic lift.
🍑 Controlled Fermentation – Oxygen-managed environment to refine acidity and sweetness
💨 TyOxy Method – Strategic oxygen exposure for aromatic lift and clarity
💧 Fully Washed – Clean removal of mucilage for transparency in the cup
🌤 Slow Drying – Stabilized over time to preserve structure and balance
