KURASU - Nestor Lasso | Colombia - Anaerobic Natural - Yellow Papayo

This is Kurasu's second release from Nestor Lasso san of El Diviso Farm. Previously, we offered a Sidra lot, while this one is a Yellow Papayo. As a variety, Yellow Papayo is characterized by its juicy acidity, sweetness, and tropical fruit flavors. It is believed to be genetically related to Ethiopian heirloom varieties discovered in Colombia, and it also carries a floral aromatic character.

This lot was processed as a natural with a 24-hour anaerobic fermentation. The cup presents intense flavors of passion fruit, strawberry, and pineapple, while careful management of temperature and moisture during drying keeps the cup clean.

At Kurasu, we roasted this coffee with espresso in mind, developing it to a point where it expresses a jam-like texture and chocolate-like sweetness. The result is a rich and fruity espresso, reminiscent of chocolate filled with strawberry jam and passion fruit purée. We also recommend enjoying it with milk as a latte.
