MSRP $21.00 Papayo – An Exotic Colombian Discovery Do you know the Papayo variety? Named for its distinctive papaya-shaped cherries, this rare varietal was discovered in Southern Huila, Colombia—sharing a similar origin story to Pink Bourbon. Papayo is celebrated by specialty roasters for its exceptional natural sweetness and fruits complex cup. Grown by Wilmer Cuellar at Finca Las Brisas, this Natural lot delivers an explosive, multi-layered fruit profile. In the cup, expect a vibrant "tropical fruit salad" experience—highlighted by notes of raspberry, kiwi, passion fruit, and dark berries. It features a lush, juicy body and an exotic, long-lasting finish that makes it an unforgettable centerpiece for any specialty offering. The Process: 96-Hour Anaerobic Fermentation Natural Producer: Wilmer Cuellar & Family (Finca Las Brisas) Drying: Hybrid (African raised beds + temperature-controlled mechanical finish) To maximize Papayo’s natural fruitiness, the Cuellar family hand-selects ripe cherries at optimal Brix levels and seals them in airtight drums for a 96-hour anaerobic fermentation. Following fermentation, the cherries undergo a slow initial sun-drying on raised African beds for three days, before a precise mechanical finishing stage to reach target moisture without over-exposure. Finally, the dried parchment rests in grain-pro bags for a two-week stabilization period, ensuring uniform flavor integration, green stability, and an extended shelf life for roasting.
