Roaster notes

Hacienda La Papaya – Typica Washed

Sourced from the Hacienda La Papaya Estate in Ecuador's Loja region, this Typica variety undergoes a washed process. Cultivated at elevations around 2,000 metres above sea level, the coffee benefits from the region's unique microclimate, enhancing its complex flavour profile and bringing out the terroir within this Ecuadorian Typica. The result is a vibrant cup featuring notes of lemon, green tea, and orange, offering a harmonious balance of sweetness and acidity.

Notes: Lemon, Green Tea, Orange

SCA Cup Score - 87

What is the roast recency?

We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 8-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.

How it works The fruit is removed from the coffee seed. Water and fermentation then help clear away the sticky layer before the seed is dried.

Typical influence Washed coffees are often described as clean and bright, with clear flavours, lively acidity and a crisp finish.

About this variety

Often presents as a bright, elegant coffee with floral aromas, tea-like delicacy and stone-fruit or citrus sweetness. Roaster descriptions often mention white peach, oolong, jasmine, citrus and blossom. Treat this as a useful pattern, not a promise: farm, process and roast still shape the final cup.

Why this one is different
  • Ecuador
  • Loja
  • Washed

Ecuador is the main reference point for Mejorado. Roaster descriptions for Ecuadorian examples often mention white peach, citrus, florals and tea-like notes, especially in washed coffees, while natural and producer-specific processes can add riper fruit or spice. Farm and processing remain more predictive than the name alone.

Washed processing can make acidity and variety character easier to read, although fermentation and drying choices still matter.

A little background

Mejorado is widely associated with Ecuador and is reported as being grown mainly there. Farms such as Finca Soledad cultivate it at high elevation alongside varieties including Gesha and Sidra.

Identification note The common Typica Mejorado name should not be read as proof of Typica ancestry.

Classification Reported Bourbon × Ethiopian landrace cross

Technical lineage Reviewed genetic reporting describes mixed Bourbon and Ethiopian landrace ancestry rather than a Typica selection.

Variety is a guide, not a flavour guarantee. Lot notes are more specific.
