The Papayo variety is a natural mutation that has become renowned for it's exceptional cup profile and resilient growing characteristics. The trees are compact in size, making them easier to manage and harvest, with cherries similar to the large Pacamara variety, but with a flavour profile often compared to a Gesha.
