Finca El Rubi Papayo – Naturals (Colombia)

from ₹1,380.00

  • Producer: Johanna & Heiner Lazo
  • Region: San Adolfo, Huila, Colombia
  • Type: 100% Arabica
  • Roast Profile: Filter Roast
  • Altitude: 1650 -1800 MASL
  • Process: Naturals
  • Varieties: Papayo
  • Flavor Notes: Vanilla Essence, Honeydew Melons, Kiwi, Black Currant

We’re thrilled to celebrate our newest exotic rarity with you – Papayo Naturals from Finca el Rubi in Colombia. Papayo is a very rare varietal found only in the Huila department of Colombia. Initially assumed to be a Caturra mutation, genetic testing has revealed a closer relationship with Ethiopian Landrace (varietals native to Ethiopia). It gets its name, “Papayo,” from the appearance of the cherries that are oblong, resembling tiny papayas. This coffee is a truly opulent indulgence. We invite you to immerse yourself in the sweet and bustling aromas of vanilla essence and honeydew melons and revel in a luscious tactile experience, throwing out sweet notes of kiwi and black currant.

Nearly three decades ago, Heiner Lazo bought Finca el Rubi at San Adolfo, Huila, assisted by his parents, as a wedding gift for his future wife, Johanna. Here’s what he had to say about why he did it:

“This farm was a wedding present from me with the help of my parents. If you love your woman, you have to give her something special like a diamond or ruby. My love was so big that one ruby could not express it, so I gave her thousands of rubies, that looked much nicer to me, and it gave us much more than a stone could ever give to a person. All these coffee rubies helped us move forward and raise three beautiful daughters. When they are big enough and find their husbands to be, I will tell them what a real ruby is.”

With revolutionary advancements in farming, fermentation and post-harvest processing, our producers are now inducing a great deal of excitement in the Robusta space. This washed lot from Venkids Valley estate delivers a lip-smacking espresso with spicy expressions of nutmeg and cardamom and a strong dark chocolate finish.

  • Producer: tib Coffee
  • Region: Muyinga
  • Type: 100% Arabica
  • Roast Profile: Filter Roast
  • Altitude: 1500 – 1700 MASL
  • Process: Washed
  • Varieties: Red Bourbon
  • Flavor Notes: Rosehip, Black Tea, Grapefruit 

You’ve probably encountered coffee produced using the Burundi Washed process. We pondered: why not bring you a coffee processed this way directly from its place of origin? Floral, tea-like, and brimming with delicious citric acidity, this Red Bourbon from the Muyinga province in Burundi perfectly encapsulates the exotic flavor profile of Africa. Subtle hints of rosehip in the aroma provide a curious prelude to its syrupy texture. A prominent note of black tea with undertones of grapefruit leads to a crisp and clean finish.

This coffee was produced by tib Coffee (This is Burundi) in the Muyinga province in northern Burundi, a stunning hilly region with an average altitude of 1500 – 1700 MASL. Around 2000 farmers, with farms spanning 50 hectares, collaborate with the washing station. Coffee is pivotal to Burundi’s economy and serves as a significant source of income for families, supporting education and providing access to cash for housing construction. Kiryama derives from the verb “Kuryama,” meaning “to sleep” in Kirundi. Royal princes used to rest on this hill, finding respite before engaging in their customary activities in the region. They favored this hill, influencing Catholic missionaries to establish a parish where Italian priests resided for more than 20 years.

  • Region: Chikmagalur
  • Type: 100% Arabica
  • Roast Profile: Filter Roast

Sit back, close your eyes and indulge in Thogarihunkal Honey – a work of art will take your taste buds dancing down candy lane. With rich and juicy acidity, each sip of this coffee will bring you a serendipitous encounter with mysterious notes that we are yet unable to name. Overlaying these mysterious expressions is an unmissable aroma of oranges and grapefruit with a splashing dash of cola candy on your palette. Here’s a coffee that will quench your morning thirst, make for an awakening initiation to a lazy Sunday brunch and even light up your Friday evenings before you head out to party. Black is the way we like it with the Chemex brewing the juiciest cup, the Aeropress brewing the sweetest and a V60 displaying a more balanced rendition of this coffee. So, go ahead, indulge!

Process: Only the sweetest cherries – with a brix level above 18 – are selectively handpicked in the honey process. The cherries are then sorted to eliminate fruit that have not completely ripened yet. The fruit are then pulped without using water. Pulping is done such that some of the mucilage is still left over the inner parchment. The first stage of drying involves drying in open sunlight for 3 days. Following this, drying takes place on raised beds in shade to slow down the process and reduce the impact of sunlight. The coffees are finally stored and allowed to rest for 30 days before it is shipped of to the mills.
