Every price we hold for this coffee works out far outside the believable per kilo range for its own market, or repeats unchanged across different bag sizes, so we will not put a figure to it.
No roaster can pay to change a figure or the order of a list; any paid placement is labelled Sponsored.
What Manhattan Coffee Roasters says about this coffee
We’re excited to introduce a new coffee from our friend Pepe Jijón!
This exceptional Sidra from Finca Soledad is one we simply couldn’t wait to share with you. Processed using Pepe and his team’s innovative Wave Washed method, it showcases just how far coffee processing can be pushed.
The Wave Washed process is highly structured and requires a deep understanding of microbiology. It includes several carefully controlled stages:
Whole cherry fermentation: Fully ripe cherries (around 22° Brix) ferment whole for approximately three days.
Depulping & mucilage fermentation: The cherries are dry-depulped, and the beans continue fermenting in their mucilage for around 48 hours.
Temperature-wave drying: The coffee is slowly dried over 40 days. Throughout drying, the beans experience carefully controlled cycles of warm and cool temperatures, creating the “wave” that gives this process its name.
The result is a beautifully elegant coffee with a silky-smooth mouthfeel and remarkable clarity — it’s quickly become one of our favourites.
Available now for both filter and espresso.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
