Faver Ninco - Papayo - Yeast Inoculated & Washed - Colombia 250g

Description

Roasted 9/15 First harvest featuring rare Papayo varietal with yeast inoculation—sweet, creamy, and complex. Variety: Papayo Process: Yeast Inoculated & Washed Country: Colombia Region: Santa Maria, Huila Altitude: 1900 MASL Producer: Faver Ninco Tasting Notes: sweet red currants, tart red fruits, creamy vanilla yogurt, almonds About the Variety Papayo is a rare arabica variety from southern Colombia, known for cherries and seeds that grow long and tapered instead of round. Growers named it for that shape: the fruit narrows to a point at one end like a small papaya. It is a farmer-named variety rather than a bred and released cultivar, which is why it carries no institutional pedigree and no release date. Production Cherries are hand-selected and spend 12-14 hours fermenting in cherry. They are then de-pulped and dry fermented for 72 hours with a yeast concentrate prior to drying for 72-84 hours. Roaster Notes This is our first harvest featuring Faver Ninco and his family and our first time ever featuring the Papayo varietal. This coffee is incredibly complex in the cup, resulting in a sweet and creamy profile of tart red fruits, and vanilla. In the cup we taste sweet red currants and tart red fruits. We also taste the sweetness of creamy vanilla yogurt and almonds. This coffee has a complex profile and a creamy body with a sweet fruit forward finish.
