Papayo Naturals is an exotic treasure from Finca el Rubi, Colombia! This exceptionally rare varietal hails exclusively from the Huila department of Colombia. Originally thought to be a mutation of Caturra, genetic testing has showcased its surprising kinship with Ethiopian Landrace varietals, native to the birthplace of coffee. Its name, “Papayo,” is inspired by the unique shape of its cherries, which are oblong and look like miniature papayas. This coffee is not just a beverage – it’s a lavish indulgence waiting to elevate your taste experience.

Sweet and vibrant aromas of vanilla essence intermingle with the refreshing scent of honeydew melons. Each sip offers a luscious tactile experience, immersing you in an intricate dance of flavors. Notes of ripe kiwi and rich black currant unfold on the palate, creating a harmonious blend of sweetness and complexity. This delightful combination promises a memorable and refined tasting experience, highlighting the exceptional quality and craftsmanship of Finca el Rubi’s Papayo varietal.

The natural process for the Papayo varietal of coffee from Finca el Rubi in Huila, Colombia, begins with the careful handpicking of fully ripe cherries. These cherries are then spread out on raised drying beds or patios, where they are left to dry under the sun. The cherries are regularly turned to ensure even drying and to prevent mold and undesirable fermentation.

Throughout this drying period, which can take several weeks, the cherries’ fruit remains intact, allowing the beans to absorb the rich, fruity flavors from the pulp. This meticulous process results in a coffee with a distinctive taste profile, characterized by enhanced sweetness, complex fruity notes, and a full-bodied mouthfeel. The dedication to quality at Finca el Rubi is evident in every cup of this exceptional Papayo coffee.

About the farm

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.”
