About the Coffee
A relatively unknown arabica variety grown in Huila, Colombia, Papayo received its name from its coffee cherries which resemble the papaya fruit.
This variety produces high yields, and the plants which grow between 1,400 and 2,000 masl usually receive higher cup scores, and are then sold as microlots.
About the Producer:
Wilder Lazo is a new coffee lover! He came to be a coffee producer not long ago since 2017 when he came to help his father at his Farm El Diviso in the mountains of San Adolfo. Because of his passion for coffee and family history in coffee producing, Wilder entered the coffee world in a unique way, he started not only with specialty coffee right away, but with his background in genetics, and also his relentless energy of learning, he began a varietal program in Huila, which nowadays includes more than 12 different varieties, which have been carefully selected from different origins.
