Finca Quebradita Papayo

Colombia Finca Quebradita Papayo Controlled Fermentation

Cherry Ripe - Goji Berries - Orange Sherbet - Manuka Honey

To highlight the tropical notes of this rare Papayo variety, the sweetest cherries are carefully selected and fermented in closed barrels. The coffee then slowly sun-dries under protective parabolic canopies before a final, precise drying stage guarantees perfect stability. It is a bright, fruit-forward cup.

Coffee Processing Method: Controlled Fermentation Natural

Finca Quebradita began as a family project built around one goal: to produce exceptional specialty coffee. Their focus is on creating distinct and repeatable flavour profiles through innovative fermentation techniques such as thermal shock and yeast inoculation. Alongside processing, they place strong emphasis on agronomic care, maintaining healthy soils through shading, organic matter, and balanced pH management with natural amendments and lime.

The farm covers 18 hectares across two properties in Colombia’s central mountain range, sitting between 1,600 and 1,850 metres. Ten hectares are planted with classic varieties like Caturra and Colombia, while one farm is dedicated entirely to specialty cultivars such as Eugenoides, Bourbon Pointu, Geisha, Java, Chiroso, Sidra, Wush Wush, Papayo, Pacamara, Sudan Rume, and Arara. The family’s long-term vision is to transition the whole estate toward full varietal production.
