PAPAYO: Colombia El Paraiso 92 Thermal Shock

This rare Papayo varietal coffee is produced by Wilton Benitez at El Paraíso 92 farm in Cauca, Colombia. The Papayo varietal gets its name from the unique shape of the coffee bean, which is elongated and shaped like papaya fruit. The Papayo varietal also tends to be fruit-forward with a vibrant flavour profile.

The innovative thermal shock process utilized by Wilton Benitez unlocks the full potential of these beans. By rapidly shifting temperatures during fermentation, the process yields a highly fruit-forward cup with a syrupy body and sparkling mouthfeel.
