Bourbon Papayo is an especially exciting varietal known for its elegant fruit character and floral aromatics.

The result is a coffee that feels bright, refreshing, and incredibly expressive.
This cup bursts with juicy watermelon and melon sweetness, layered with candy-like brightness and delicate floral notes of lavender and lilac. A gentle lactic acidity adds a yogurt-like creaminess, creating a silky mouthfeel that ties everything together. The result is a playful, fruit-forward coffee that feels like sipping on summer in a cup.
