Hacienda la Papaya [Typica Washed]

34 USD

Grown by Juan Peña between 1900 and 2100 meters above sea level in the Saraguro region, this batch showcases the Typica Mejorado variety. Thanks to its washed process and a 15-hour fermentation, it delivers exactly what made it a success last year: a clean, clear and harmonious cup, perfectly suited for filter extraction. You will find those sweet notes of pear and maple syrup, always enhanced by a pleasant fruity touch of orange. A round cup, full of sweetness. Located at 1900–2100 m altitude in the Andean region of Saraguro, Hacienda La Papaya is a pioneering Ecuadorian specialty coffee farm, founded by Juan Peña in 2010. A true center for research and innovation, the finca combines scientific rigor and respect for the terroir: drip irrigation, monitoring by sensors, controlled drying and a unique genetic bank preserving the most sought-after varieties (Geisha, Sidra, Pacamara, Typica, Yellow Bourbon…). Beyond quality, Hacienda La Papaya plays a vital social role by employing the local community, especially women, and training the next generation of producers. Year after year, the result remains unchanged: refined, complex and consistent coffees, regularly winning international awards.
