The name reflects the unconventional nature of these coffees—coffees without straight lines, defined by character rather than conformity, and memorable because they complement each other so well. ABOUT SAVAGE COFFEE & FINCA DEBORAH Finca Deborah, one of the most celebrated, highest and remote, shade-grown Geisha farms in the world, is shrouded in rain-forest cloud coverage for much of the year. Deborah's soils are volcanic, highly organic, and nutrient rich, ideally suited for extreme elevation coffee production. The extreme elevation and reduced temperature slows the metabolism of the trees, allowing the trees to push more sugars into the cherries during production. Additionally, Deborah has ideal rainfall averaging 2200 mm per year. It is an extraordinary environment for growing any variety of coffee, but here one of the world’s most complicated varieties of coffee, Geisha, not only grows successfully but also thrives. No pesticides or herbicides are used on Jamison’s farms. Deborah's extreme altitude combined with its unique micro-climates, assist in keeping many harmful diseases to a minimum, thus permitting the coffee trees to focus on producing beautiful fruit instead of wasting valuable energy defending themselves from pests or diseases. Combined, these two important variables contribute greatly to Deborah's intensely sweet and highly complex cup profile. ABOUT JOSE "PEPE" JIJÓN Jose "Pepe" Jijón is the visionary behind Finca Soledad, a coffee farm nestled in Ecuador’s Intag Valley. Originally a psychologist and an accomplished mountaineer—having solo-climbed the Seven Summits—Pepe’s journey into coffee was unexpected. After a life-changing motorcycle accident, he sought solace in nature and acquired land in Ecuador, initially planting trees for conservation. Over time, his passion for sustainability and environmental stewardship led him to specialty coffee, where he has gained global recognition for his innovative farming practices and exceptional Gesha varieties.
