This Sidra's profile is highly aromatic, fruity, and wild. The flavours showcase tropical fruits, a winey acidity, and a bit of spice. We also find citrus fruits and chocolate tones which add a fantastic complexity. Like most Sidra varietals, the aftertaste is long and there is a wonderful mouthfeel with an elegance that mirrors a beautiful rum.

*Please note, preorder coffees are excluded from discounts.

Juan is an active member of his community, allowing neighbours to utilize his facilities, such as the nursery and the micro-mill, to help the overall sector of La Papaya grow and develop. Segundo Cartuche is an example of this, with his own plot of land and his own production, via the support of Hacienda La Papaya.

The coffees produced at Hacienda La Papaya are the result of a meticulous integral process, beginning with the genetics of the seeds in the nursery and knowing the mother plants. Every year the farm experiments with various controlled fermentation and drying, creating some really exquisite flavours in the cup.

This coffee is harvested following a strict ripeness criteria, exposed to a dry anaerobic fermentation of 14 hours afterwards and dried on raised beds to the ideal moisture content.

This Oak Barrel process started as an experiment in 2018 at Hacienda La Papaya. It consists of placing whole cherry in sealed, used rum barrels for 120 hours environmental rooms that are fully controlled. Following this unique style of fermentation, the cherries are dried for nearly 30 days in drying rooms.
