Juan Peña owns and operates his estate farm, Hacienda La Papaya, in Saraguro, Ecuador. Juan produces coffee as well as working with smaller communities of producers in Ecuador through his exporting business Cafexporto to produce some of the most exceptional specialty coffees we’ve ever tasted. The Typica variety that Juan grows at Hacienda La Papaya was our first introduction to these coffees, and these coffees have always impressed us with the flavors Juan is able to cultivate and develop from this unique expression of the variety. This Typica is processed as a natural, with ripe cherries undergoing sorting and floating before drying for a prolonged time in a special drying room, built with humidity and temperature controls and protection from UV radiation. Juan’s naturally processed Typica is one of the cleanest naturally processed coffees we’ve tasted, with sweet strawberry and crisp green fruit flavors, along with a complex dark chocolate quality and a creamy texture.
