His work and dedication to coffee are something we have followed and admired for years, and we are honored to finally share one of his coffees with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy first encounter with Pepe’s coffee was back in 2020, when I had the opportunity to taste his family’s coffee while I was in Thailand. Since then, our paths have continued to cross. We met through the SCA trade show in 2022 and reunited at the Spain Coffee Festival in 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne thing I will always remember about Pepe is his energy. Every time we meet, he greets me with his incredible smile and a familiar shout:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“PACKKKKKK!”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond his personality, I have always admired his dedication to coffee and his commitment to exploring what Ecuadorian coffee can become. Over the years, the Jijón family has continued to push boundaries through farming, genetics, and processing while respecting the land and the people behind every harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the 2026 harvest, we were fortunate to receive two coffees from the family. We first introduced a Typica Mejorado from José Jijón’s Finca Putushio, celebrating the next generation of the Jijón family. Now, we are excited to share our second coffee: Sidra Wave Hybrid from Finca Soledad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Different Mountain to Climb\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore dedicating himself to coffee, Pepe accomplished an extraordinary personal journey. He climbed the highest peaks on all seven continents, completing his journey by summiting Mount Everest alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday, he continues to pursue another kind of summit at Finca Soledad, nestled in the remote Intag Valley of Ecuador’s Imbabura province. For the past 15 years, Pepe has dedicated himself to cultivating exceptional coffee, exploring varieties such as Sidra, Typica Mejorado, and Gesha while working to express the unique character of his land.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis philosophy goes beyond producing exceptional coffee. It is about respecting nature, refining his approach to farming and processing, and ensuring that the people who contribute their time and knowledge are fairly compensated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are the stories we love at Newbery Street. To us, coffee is never just what ends up in the cup. It is the people, the places, and the dedication behind every harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Wave Hybrid Process\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Finca Soledad Sidra Wave Hybrid is a micro-lot from the 2026 harvest. What makes this coffee particularly interesting is its Wave Hybrid process, which uses controlled temperatures and carefully managed fermentation to develop clarity and vibrancy while limiting unnecessary stress on the coffee cherries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe process begins with four days of cold storage at Finca Soledad. The cherries are then dried for 12 days using a natural process. Next, they are rehydrated with a small amount of water and depulped before undergoing a final three days of drying in the cold room as a honey-processed coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy combining elements of natural and honey processing with carefully controlled conditions, this approach allows Pepe to explore a different expression of the Sidra variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom first tasting the Jijón family's coffee in 2020 to finally bringing Pepe's work to our lineup, this release feels especially meaningful to us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are incredibly grateful to Pepe and the Jijón family for the opportunity to share this coffee. We hope that when you taste it, you will appreciate not only what is in the cup but also the years of curiosity, experimentation, and dedication behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eOrigin: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinca Soledad, Imbabura, Ecuador\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eProducer: José (Pepe) Jijón\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eProcess: Wave Hybrid\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eRoast Profile: Light\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eVariety: Sidra\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAltitude: 1,550 m.a.s.l.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eTasting Notes: Apple, Mandarin Orange, Passion Fruit, Pineapple, Pink Guava, Pomegranate, Red Plum, Rose Tea, Strawberry, Tamarind, Tropical Fruit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eSize : 4oz.
