Colombia Jardines del Eden Papayo

This microlot is 100% Papayo. This varietal is a rare mutation that took place in Acevedo, Huila. Ripe cherries turn orange in colour and the shape is similar to a papaya. Coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria, floated and hand-sorted to remove any defects. Cherries were then exposed to 30 hours of underwater fermentation before being pulped. The parchment was then gently washed and then dried in temperature controlled conditions until ideal moisture content was achieved.

When this coffee passed on the cupping table we were immediately impressed. It’s a very complex and layered coffee – green grape, peach, plum, blackberries, lime, orange were some of the tasting notes that came out….stunning coffee!
