Papayo Variety 

The Papayo variety is very rare and is found on a few farms in Huila, Colombia. Its cherries resemble papaya, hence the name. Recent genetic tests indicate that it is an Ethiopian landrace, similar to Gesha or Wush Wush.

The Producer: Diego

Diego, one of the youngest coffee farmers at just 28, inherited his coffee profession from his father, Martín. Together, they’ve explored various experimental processes to enhance coffee quality. Recently, they've added exotic varieties like Pacamara and Pink Bourbon to their offerings. Supporting young producers like Diego is important to us, especially as many young people move from rural areas to cities for better opportunities.

The Process

Manual harvesting of ripe cherries guarantees a sweeter and cleaner flavor. Then, a prolonged anaerobic fermentation is carried out to develop intense and complex fruity flavors. The drying process is done in two stages: initial dehydration in a mechanical dryer and final drying for 15 days.
