Originally thought to be a Caturra mutation, the rare Papayo variety is in fact closely related to Ethiopian Landrace varieties. The Papayo variety cherries have a distinctive, elongated shape and a cup quality that is singular in its own right. Papayo is a Bourbon varietal, distinctive but very similar to Red, Yellow and Pink Bourbon. Expect a nice clean cup with good body and mild acidity. These Papayo beans only come around once a year or so.
