Anaerobic fermentation shines through in tropical mango notes and a surprising touch of red grape. So pretty and complex, it drinks like a black-label coffee. In the cup: white flowers, oolong tea, mango, and red grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e Before settling on a coffee farm, Pepe Jijón spent his days traversing mountains — an avid mountaineer and guide who explored some of the world's most impressive ranges, even completing a solo expedition of the \"Seven Summits\" before finding his next great adventure in coffee. He found a soft place to land in the Intag Valley, nestled among the sloping mountains of Imbabura, Ecuador. Today he nurtures about four hectares at Finca Soledad, cultivating exceptional lots across several varieties, including this Sidra.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e Whole cherries, handpicked at peak ripeness, undergo an initial fermentation in sealed tanks for 72 hours. They're then moved to a dark room for very slow drying — a process that can take up to 50 days, with temperature strategically manipulated throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extended 50-day dark-room drying is the defining step — it's what allows the anaerobic fermentation's tropical mango and red grape character to develop fully alongside Sidra's naturally floral, tea-like base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e Floral and delicate — white flowers and oolong tea-like structure up front, with tropical mango and a surprising red grape note coming through from the anaerobic fermentation. Complex and refined, punching well above its price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e 🌼 White Flowers 🍵 Oolong Tea 🥭 Mango 🍇 Red Grapes\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Black \u0026 White Roasters","offers":[{"title":"340g \/ July 27th","offer_id":58361397608822,"sku":"B\u0026W-SOLEDAD-PEPE-JIJON-SYDRA-HONEY-FIL-340-JUL27","price":31.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g \/ July 27th","offer_id":58361397772662,"sku":"B\u0026W-SOLEDAD-PEPE-JIJON-SYDRA-HONEY-FIL-100-JUL27","price":21.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9152\/5021\/files\/ilse_logo_1_-12-cropped.png?v=1785326524","url":"https:\/\/sigmacoffee.co.uk\/products\/black-white-roasters-pepe-jijon-sidra-wave-honey","provider":"Sigma Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
