Price not usable
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.

What Roasticious says about this coffee
Origin
Mejorado has emerged as Ecuador’s crown jewel in coffee cultivation. Despite its name suggesting a link to Typica, Typica Mejorado is genetically distinct. Recent studies reveal it to be a hybrid of Bourbon and Ethiopian Landrace, combining the best of both worlds in flavor and complexity.
This exceptional coffee is cultivated by José Jijón and Francisco Vintimilla at Fincas del Putushio, a farm they established in 2024 alongside José’s father, Pepe Jijón, renowned for his work at Finca Soledad. Nestled at an impressive altitude of 2,222 meters above sea level, the farm thrives in nutrient-rich volcanic soil and a unique microclimate—ideal conditions for producing high-quality specialty coffee. Building on the legacy of Finca Soledad, Fincas del Putushio is committed to elevating Ecuadorian coffee to the global stage.

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.
How it sits among coffee from Ecuador
Roasticious describe this coffee as fruity, floral. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Ecuador; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from Ecuador, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

These are claims the roaster makes about its business, not about this coffee, and we have not checked them against any register.
Where each fact came from
Tasting notes
…flavor notes: White grape, peach and jasmine… part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)
A further 4 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
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.
