FROM THE ROASTER

ONLY RIPE CHERRIES ARE HARVESTED, FLOATED FOR A SECOND SELECTION AND LEFT IN OPEN TANKS FOR 24 HOURS. THE CHERRIES ARE THEN DEPULPED AND FERMENTED AGAIN FOR 60 HOURS IN OPEN TANKS, WASHED, AND DRIED IN SUN-BED DRIERS FOR 2-3 WEEKS, SOMETIMES FINISHING IN MECHANICAL DRYERS DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER.

DELICATE'S FIRST EVER CONTRACTED COFFEE WAS YESSICA AND DIEGO PARRA'S PINK BOURBON, AND THIS PAPAYO CONTINUES THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH A NEW HARVEST. A FUN, PUNCHY COFFEE WITH SPARKLING ACIDITY AND A NICE SWEETNESS IN THE FINISH, LEANING INTO RED, GREEN, ORANGE AND YELLOW TROPICAL FRUITS. OVER DAYS OF TASTING WE HAVE EXPERIENCED NOTES OF STRAWBERRY-KIWI, MANGO, PONCHE, GUAVA PASTE, CANELA, MANDARIN CUPS, AND HONEY.
