This washed Papayo comes from Finca El Paraíso in Cauca, Colombia, where it is grown at 1,960 masl. The Bermudez brothers work with carefully selected ripe cherries, combining low-temperature anaerobic fermentation with a thermal-shock wash, a controlled process built around preserving the variety’s delicate aromatic character. Strawberry, kiwi, and grapefruit lead the cup, layered with lemongrass and pineapple. Bright citrus acidity brings clarity, while a silky body keeps the profile smooth and refined. The finish is clean, floral, and lingering. Available in a 24kg box with the coffee vacuum-packed in GrainPro, this lot gives roasters a chance to work with a less familiar Colombian variety and a profile that balances tropical fruit with florals and clean citrus definition. Direct trade green coffee imported by JA coffee through long-term relationships at origin, for specialty coffee roasters.
The catalog often lists the same model at several merchants — worth a price check before you buy.
