Juan Peña (Hacienda La Papaya)

Description

Grown by Juan Peña between 1900 and 2100 meters above sea level in the Saraguro region, this batch showcases the Typica Mejorado variety.

Thanks to its washed process and a 15-hour fermentation, it delivers exactly what made it a success last year: a clean, clear and harmonious cup, perfectly suited for filter extraction.

You will find those sweet notes of pear and maple syrup, always enhanced by a pleasant fruity touch of orange.

A round cup, full of sweetness.

Located at 1900–2100 m altitude in the Andean region of Saraguro, Hacienda La Papaya is a pioneering Ecuadorian specialty coffee farm, founded by Juan Peña in 2010.

A true center for research and innovation, the finca combines scientific rigor and respect for the terroir: drip irrigation, monitoring by sensors, controlled drying and a unique genetic bank preserving the most sought-after varieties (Geisha, Sidra, Pacamara, Typica, Yellow Bourbon…).

Beyond quality, Hacienda La Papaya plays a vital social role by employing the local community, especially women, and training the next generation of producers.

Year after year, the result remains unchanged: refined, complex and consistent coffees, regularly winning international awards.
