Hacienda La Papaya is a pioneering farm in Ecuador’s Saraguro region, founded by renowned producer Juan Peña. Established in 2010, the farm is known for its dedication to quality and research-driven innovation. With a unique dry-tropical climate, drip irrigation systems, and a robust genetic seed bank, Hacienda La Papaya produces high performance, first generation varieties that are disease resistant and nutrient efficient.

This Typica is an anaerobic natural with a fruity, sticky cup profile from Hacienda La Papaya. It undergoes a whole cherry anaerobic fermentation of 100 hours, with Mossto, the liquid captured after this style of fermentation is finished which is re-circulated to stimulate further fermentations. After fermentation, the whole cherry is taken for 30 days of drying in controlled temperature and humidity rooms.
