Flower Child CoffeeAbout This Coffee
Pepe Jijon Gesha is a Gesha variety from Finca Soledad (producer Pepe Jijon) in Imbabura, Ecuador, grown at 1,515 meters. This lot was washed and depulped after a day in-cherry, fermented 24 hours on mucilage, lightly rinsed, then dried in shaded indirect conditions with extended drying (20 days in a climate-controlled dark room, plus 5 days on raised beds). The cup is full-bodied, silky and floral with notes of mangosteen, kumquat, kiwano melon, stone fruit, melon and iris.

Flower Child Coffee
Prestin Yoder founded Flower Child as a small roasting and green buying project after years working in specialty coffee. The operation runs out of Oakland, focusing on limited releases rather than a permanent lineup. Yoder roasts light but fully developed targeting clarity, and sources directly from farmers. The emphasis on farmer compensation and ongoing dialogue with producing partners shapes both the selection and the pricing. Coffees are curated for cleanliness, vibrancy, and origin expression, with lots from Ethiopia, Kenya, Burundi, Colombia, or Ecuador appearing frequently.
