      Jairo Arcila - Papayo [natural] — Colombia

      This coffee was grown by Jairo at his farm Santa Monica. The cherries from these Papayo trees were hand-picked at optimum ripeness, then transported on the same day to "La Pradera" [a mill owned by Jairo's son Carlos] for processing. The coffee cherries were floated and hand-sorted to remove defects, dry fermented for 45 hours & then dried on raised "African" beds in temperature-controlled conditions until the moisture was reduced to around 11%.

      This lot is 100% Caturra, a mutation of Bourbon discovered in Brasil in 1937. The plant is a dwarf so it can be planted close together resulting in more production per hectare. Caturra has good flavour characteristics but is susceptible to disease.
