September - Juan Peña: Washed Anaerobic, Ecuador (200g)

Hacienda La Papaya, owned by renowned coffee producer Juan Peña in Ecuador, is celebrated for its award-winning specialty coffee. Their meticulous approach begins with seed genetics and controlled fermentation experiments, resulting in exquisite flavors. This Typica exemplifies their elevated classic profile: fresh cherries undergo fermentation for up to 100 hours at a cool temperature, followed by 30 days of controlled drying. The cup reveals a beautiful, clean taste with mandarin orange, orange blossom, and nectarine notes, complemented by a wine-like acidity akin to rose wine, concluding with a lingering milk chocolate finish.
