This is our second release of Fincas del Putushio, a new planting from Jose Jijon. Working together with his father Pepe, they used what they had learned developing Finca El Soledad and adapted it to a high-elevation farm in a different region. Through unique challenges and trials, the effort put forth yields a tremendously clean and elegant cup.
The sweetness really comes through in the second pour-over, almost like brown sugar but without any bitterness on the finish. It’s a clean, bright cup that makes me want to dial in my grind size again just to chase that same flavor profile. Definitely a repeat buy for my weekend rotation.
I’ve been brewing this as my morning pour-over and the sweetness really comes through—clean and almost honeyed, without any bitterness. You can tell the father-son duo put real care into this new planting; it’s a step up from the first release.
The second release from this new planting has a sweetness that carries through the whole cup, and the fact it’s a father-son project makes it feel special. I brewed it in my pour-over and the clarity was remarkable. Already looking forward to what they do next.
