What The Underdog says about this coffee
This is a unique and computational lot produced by a collaboration between our Founder Tasos Delichristos and Finca Soledad’s stunning farm owner Jose Ignacio Jijón, also known as Pepe. It is located 50 km north-west of Quito on the Andean slopes that form the Intag valley and is surrounded by high mountains, dense biodiversity and the strong river Intag. Pepe has been producing coffee here since 2010 and the farm offers varieties like Typica mejorado, Sidra and Gesha.

Where each fact came from
A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.
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.
