Passionfruit, Colombia

About this coffee

This coffee has been in the works for a while, and we're very excited to finally get it in your cups. While on a trip to Spain last year, Papercup owner Graeme asked in the local coffee shop if they had anything special brewing that day, he received a cup of Passiflora from Marlon Rojas at the La Reserva Farm in Huila, Colombia. Before he'd finished the cup he was on the phone to our friends at Forest Coffee to secure a bag so we could enjoy it back in Glasgow. As expected from La Reserva, this coffee has undergone meticulous processing to ensure a high quality and complex cup.

The pre-fermentation stage lasts for 24 hours, during which the cherries are left intact to allow their natural enzymes and sugars to begin unlocking the coffee's potential flavors. Following this, the cherries are depulped and semi-washed to remove the outer skin while retaining some mucilage, essential for the next transformative step.
