Ecuador La Papaya Typica Mejorado

Coffee overview

The first of many La Papaya drops incoming! We start La Papaya season with Juan Peña's staple lot: washed Typica Mejorado. In-line with other Mejorado drops this year, this coffee is a little softer than the others, and more floral. Expect soft stonefruits, huge-but-clean sweetness, and exceptional florality from what has become a regular yearly offering here at H&S.
