Ecuador - Putushio

Floral and Elegant – Ecuador Coffee

Putushio Typica Mejorada Washed is produced by José Jijón at Finca Putushio, where the next chapter of the Jijón family story is taking shape. At Putushio, José brings his own energy and perspective to the farm, experimenting with varieties and processing while carving out a path that is deeply rooted in family values, yet unmistakably his own. What began as conversations about coffee quickly expanded into shared music, stories, and life lived between Ecuador and New York. Working with Putushio today feels less like business and more like supporting a friend’s journey.

Typica Mejorada is one of the flagship varieties of the Jijón family and a key reason for its rapid rise in popularity over the past few years. This washed lot showcases the variety’s classic elegance, with pronounced florals and bright, refined acidity.

Grown in Loja at 2200 meters above sea level, this coffee delivers a delicate, tea-like texture and a vibrant, expressive cup. Expect layered citrus notes complemented by stone fruit sweetness and a clean, polished finish. Designed especially for filter brewing, it highlights clarity, balance, and finesse.
