THE PRODUCER This lot comes from La Leona farm in Colombia, growing Papayo — a distinctive, less common variety known for its papaya-shaped cherries.
THE PROCESS This lot is processed as an EF2 Natural, involving an extended fermentation designed to coax out deeper tropical sweetness, followed by 16 days of drying on raised beds.
The extended fermentation is the defining step — it's what builds the lush mango, apricot, and cacao depth that define this cup, while keeping the tartaric-like acidity bright and well-integrated.
THE CUP Vibrant and sparkling — ripe mango and apricot sweetness up front, layered over a rich, fruity cacao base. A tartaric-like acidity keeps the cup bright throughout.
