Papayo Enmielado

An Exotic coffee that represents the best of coffees from Huila, specifically from Palestina at 1,900 meters above sea level; it is a variety called Bourbon Papayo, with a Red Honey processing method and a sensory profile combining lime notes, a silky mouthfeel, citrus, and spices.

Producing high-quality coffee like this, highly prized by consumers, requires the right combination of several factors. Optimal agroenvironmental conditions (soil fertility, solar radiation, rainfall patterns, and climate variability) that allow plants and fruit to develop properly. A coffee variety whose genetic characteristics give it the potential to produce delicious flavors. And careful work on the farm, such as proper crop management, harvesting the beans at their peak ripeness, and rigorous processing, complemented by bean fermentation that brings out the coffee’s flavors through the sugars in the pulp.

All of this is complemented by a carefully executed medium roast at Varietale, which transforms the precursor compounds in green coffee into incredible aromas and flavors in the roasted coffee.

Exotic Nanolots are small productions, between 20 and 50 kg, of exotic varieties, sold in dollars per pound. Many undergo prolonged, innovative, and daring fermentations that result in extraordinary coffees with wonderful, complex flavors. The world’s best baristas use them in world championships. They are rare even in the world of specialty coffee. A truly unique coffee experience.
