For Pepe, “Wave” isn’t a single technical recipe. It’s a way of thinking about coffee. Finca Soledad sits within a protected UNESCO Geopark in the remote Intag Valley. Of the farm’s 120 hectares, only around five are planted to coffee. The rest is protected or replanted forest. That balance shapes everything. Coffee is not treated as a commodity crop to be pushed hard, but as part of a wider ecosystem.
Producer: Jose Pepe Jijón - Finca Soledad
