What the Brand Says
Product Description Producer Jairo Arcila Farm/Mill Santa Monica Cultivar Papayo Process Carbonic Maceration Natural Location Quindio, Armenia Altitude 1500 MASL Harvest October 2024 Expect notes of Sea Buckthorn, Orange Wine, Persimmon Coffee Story Jairo Arcila, a leading figure in Colombian coffee, has over 40 years of experience producing high-quality coffee. His sons, Felipe and Carlos, continue his legacy through Cofinet importers, our main source for Colombian coffee. The Papayo coffee variety, mainly found in Huila, Colombia, has mysterious origins. Initially thought to be a Caturra mutation, it is now linked to Ethiopian varieties that somehow made their way to Colombia. Its elongated cherries resemble papaya fruit, hence the name. Jairo has borrowed a winemaking technique—carbonic maceration—using carbon dioxide during fermentation. This creates a complex, enhanced, fruit-driven profile. Roast type We don’t label our coffee as espresso or filter. Instead, for each coffee we create a unique roasting profile, designed to bring out the best flavours from its origin, farm and milling method. That’s why, instead, we label our coffee based on the experience it brings to the cup. COFFEE EXPERIENCES UNIQUE & INTERESTING: Boundary-pushing coffee unlike anything you’ve tried before.
