Origin: Colombia


Region: Pitalito, Huila


Variety: Papayo Rojo


Farm: El Recreo


Processing: Washed (fermented)


Altitude: 1750 m a.s.l.



ABOUT THE FARM


El Recreo is Alexandra Calderón Rojas's farm located in Pitalito, in the Huila department, at an altitude of approximately 1700 m above sea level. The farm spans 6 hectares, 5 of which are dedicated to coffee cultivation. This scale allows for great attention to detail in cherry selection and process quality.



ABOUT THE COFFEE


Papayo Rojo is a variety that brings plenty of dynamics and freshness to the cup. In a well-managed process, it can deliver a juicy, complex, and very clear profile. This is one of those coffees that shows modern Colombia can still surprise with its form, without losing precision.The cherries were hand-picked, then subjected to 24-hour oxidation and 36-hour fermentation in mucilage. After this stage, the mucilage layer was removed mechanically, followed by drying in a marquesina for about 20 days. This process builds greater depth of flavor and helps maintain high profile clarity.
