From the producer

Rubén Correa is a third-generation producer whose three-hectare Finca Primavera is intercropped with banana, yucca, orange, tangerine, and lemon.

From the roaster

Partners Coffee sourced this limited Papayo release through Cuatro Vientos and roasted it light to emphasize sweetness and tropical fruit.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Papayo is a rare Colombian variety associated with Huila. Its exact genetic origin remains unresolved, so the profile records the documented variety without assigning an unverified lineage.

Coffee profile
