Jardines del Eden - Papayo - Limited Release
Jardines del Eden Papayo is an effortlessly clean washed coffee where the intrinsic flavors of the green coffee take center stage. While maintaining this clarity, the coffee is also insanely expressive - making us say “is this really a washed coffee?!?!” a handful of times while tasting it.
While hot, the mouthfeel is syrupy and full, with complex acidity like mango nectar, and a floral sweetness like raw honey. The coffee is very fragrant with an aroma like blackberries, and extremely sweet. As the coffee cools, the mouthfeel becomes more silky, with a juicy body, and finishes with a note similar to lemongrass.
The coffee is everything we want in a high quality washed coffee. Period.

MORE ABOUT THIS COFFEE
This varietal is a rare mutation that took place in Acevedo, Huila. Ripe cherries have a shape similar to a papaya. This specific varietal was planted in 2021 and has been noted that the cup profile is far sweeter and as floral as a Gesha.
Felipe Arcila is one of the co-founders of Cofinet along with his brother Carlos Arcila. They are the 4th generation of coffee growers. Their father, Jairo Arcila, is a third-generation coffee grower from Quindío. Jairo told his sons that the coffee industry was not profitable because of the many economic challenges he had faced in the past. Because of this advice, Felipe and Carlos both pushed forward with their careers in civil engineering and travelled to Australia to continue with their master’s degrees.
Felipe was amazed by the coffee culture he saw first hand Australia and was inspired to be a part of it. When Felipe finished his studies and returned to Colombia, he became more involved in coffee and started to study Specialty Coffee. Felipe and Carlos then bought Jardines del Edén where their focus is on growing exotic varieties of coffee. In 2015, Felipe and Carlos started Cofinet and began producing, sourcing, and exporting Specialty Coffee to the rest of the world. (Cofinet)

PROCESSING
Washed. This coffee is harvested following strict ripeness criteria, floated, and hand-sorted to remove any defects. Cherries were then exposed to 30 hours of underwater fermentation before being pulped. The parchment was then gently washed and then dried in temperature controlled conditions until ideal moisture content was achieved.
50¢ from the sale of all coffee bags go to Angels’ Place - A Pittsburgh based non-profit that cares for the children of single parents who qualify as low-income. This enables the parent to continue their own education or career, benefiting both generations.
SHIPPING: We ship orders on Tuesdays and Fridays. Order cutoff is 12pm the day PRIOR to the ship day. If you ever feel your coffee is not fresh enough, just let us know and we’ll replace it.
Domestic shipping is free for orders of $50 or more. Otherwise, it is a $7.50 flat rate anywhere in the US. We ship everything via UPS Ground.
NOTES ON GRINDING: If you choose “French Press” grind, expect it to be finer than usual, so you’re guaranteed good extraction. Some ultra fine coffee particles will make it through the screen and create a flavorful, albeit slightly opaque cup. In other words, we choose flavor over aesthetics. If you want to keep your cup looking cleaner, choose a pour over grind.
If you don’t see your preferred grind in the options then simply let us know in the notes section at checkout and we’d be happy to grind it for your favorite brewing method.
