About the coffee
This is a washed Sidra—meticulously harvested, fermented for 18–24 hours, and dried under controlled conditions to preserve clarity and aroma. The result is a clean, floral, and fruit-forward cup with vibrant acidity and silky structure.
About the producer
Juan Peña is a former rose grower turned coffee pioneer. His scientific, data-driven approach has made Hacienda La Papaya a benchmark in quality. From custom nutrition experiments to a full drip irrigation system, every detail on the farm is designed to bring out the best in each plant.
Juan’s Sidra is a rust-resistant hybrid of Bourbon and Typica. At its best, it gives a mix of sweetness, acidity, and texture that’s hard to match.
Social impact
Hacienda La Papaya is the only formal employer in the area. It provides social security to its workers, 80% of whom are women. During harvest, local high school students are also hired—a model that’s worked successfully for 7 years.
