The variety.

01 / Yellow Bourbon

A Bourbon mutation in the traditional American lineage, offering caramel sweetness, stone fruit, and a balanced, approachable cup. At La Papaya it is grown from Genetic Bank stock and processed with the same precision as the rarer lots.

The process.

Cherries ferment 100 to 240 hours in sealed, airlocked tanks below 24C, then dry roughly 30 days to 10 to 11% moisture. The result is intense aromatics, bright tropical and red fruit, sweet lactic acidity, and a creamy, syrupy body.

The grower, on this coffee
Yellow Bourbon is the classic, grown from Genetic Bank stock and processed with the same precision as the rare lots. Caramel, stone fruit, a balanced and approachable cup a roaster can build a program around.
