Finca Soledad TyOxi

About This Coffee

This coffee is a Typica Mejorado variety from Finca Soledad, located in the Intag Valley of Ecuador at 1515 meters altitude. It is processed using the unique 'Oxidator' method, which involves a 2-day fermentation and maceration period followed by 56 days of drying in a temperature-controlled dark room. This process results in a complex flavor profile featuring notes of mandarin, cranberry, and mint. The coffee is produced by Pepe Jijon on a 120-hectare cloud forest farm.

Dario Scilipoti founded Bluebird in 2017 in Howick, a small town in KwaZulu Natal, and moved into a purpose built facility in 2022 that now houses a roastery, cafe, training center, quality control lab, and offices. The operation won Roastery of the Year at the 2021 Coffee Magazine Awards and has continued collecting recognition since, including Best Coffee Packaging and Best Alternative Brewing Experience in 2024. All green coffee selected and imported by Bluebird is exclusive to them in South Africa.

Their podcast, Coffee Made Me Do It, was nominated for Podcast of the Year at the 2024 Sprudge Coffee Awards. Bluebird ships within South Africa and internationally, including to Czechia, guided by a stated hierarchy: people, environment, quality, then profit.
