Grown by Jairo Arcila at Finca Villarazo, This micro-lot is 100% PAPAYO! This varietal is a rare mutation that took place in Acevedo, Huila. Originally thought to be a Caturra mutation, the rare Papayo variety is in fact closely related to Ethiopian Landrace varieties.
The Papayo variety cherries have a distinctive, elongated shape and a cup quality that is singular in its own right. Cherries ripe to be orange and the shape is similar to a Papaya fruit.
This coffee was exposed to a dry aerobic fermentation of 24 hours, later placed inside grain pro bags for 50 hours maintaining a temperature below 22'c. Later, it was placed on raised beds until 11% moisture content is achieved.
