Flavour profile & Process

A filter-only Typica lot from Pepe Jijon's Finca Soledad in Imbabura. Lychee, apple compote and melon come through in a smooth, round cup.

Sourcing with Care

The endless pursuit of great coffee

Pepe Jijon bought the four-hectare Finca Soledad in 2010 after stepping back from a life of mountaineering and exploration. The farm sits above the Intag River valley in Imbabura, where Pepe grows Typica Mejorada, Sidra and smaller plantings of Geisha, Caturra and Castillo.

The land had suffered from deforestation, so the team began replanting it and has returned around 25,000 trees to the farm. Coffee and forest now grow together on the mountainside. La Soledad is a small Typica lot from that work, roasted only for filter.

The Making of Great Taste

All about Manhattan Coffee Roasters

Manhattan Coffee Roasters was founded in Rotterdam in 2017 by Ben Morrow and Esther Maasdam. The name nods to Rotterdam's 'Manhattan aan de Maas' nickname and the old Holland America Line between Rotterdam and New York.

They work with traceable lots from producers they know, from dependable espresso coffees to small competition releases. Each coffee gets a roast profile for espresso or filter, with the flavour of the lot kept front and centre.
