About this coffee
Yellow Papayo! Not to be confused with papaya, which is a fruit, not a coffee -- though there is a connection. Read on to find out more...
This is a sweet, funky, tropical explosion, with with tasting notes of mango, papaya and strawberry. This is an advanced natural from Huila, Colombia.
Yellow Papayo is what we call a 'rediscovered' varietal. There's a lot of theories about how it might have originally developed, but this one is grown by Néstor Lasso at the El Diviso farm in the south of Huila. Over the past five years, Néstor and his brother Adrián have developed their family farm into one of the most innovative Colombian farms for experimental fermentation processes. This coffee, for example, has gone through 60 hours of oxidation, 72 hours of submerged anaerobic fermentation, and a post-process thermal shock (try saying that three times after a glass of wine).
