Papayo is one of the most exciting varieties emerging from Colombia.

Grown by Juan David Chinchilla in La Cumbre (Huila), this lot stands out due to both its origin and its uncommon genetics. The Papayo variety, related to Ethiopian landraces, offers a bright, tropical, and extremely clean profile.

Cultivated between 1,700 and 2,000 meters above sea level, this coffee reflects Juan David's commitment to quality: careful selection, clean processes, and a sustainable vision that protects the farm's natural environment.

The result is a vibrant, modern coffee with a unique identity.

Process

Processed using an anaerobic natural method, this coffee enhances sweetness and complexity:

Sumo Coffee Roasters' mission is to create a transparent and ethical coffee business that highlights and celebrates everyone involved, from the producers and farmers who pour their heart and sweat into the craft to the baristas who create the finished product, and everyone in between.

Our goal is to ensure direct trade and that we pay a fair price to the farmers.

By helping educate consumers about the farmers' craft, by telling the story behind the bean, and by doing our best to achieve perfection in our roast, Sumo's plan is to elevate the standards and experience for all involved in the industry, innovating the way forward for coffee.
