The producer of this coffee named, Diego Rodriguez,  third generation of Coffee farmers.  His family farm in Palestina, Huila, it is the place that this coffee was born and cultivated at 1900 meters above sea level, developing remarkable sweetness and complexity.

Diego’s grandparents, Alfonso Rivas and Gloria Burbano, fled armed violence in Caquetá during the 1980s. Seeking safety and a new beginning, they arrived in Huila and built what would become a three-generation coffee legacy. Today, their children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren continue cultivating these rare Bourbon Papayo trees with devotion, nurturing not only the plants, but the resilience and love that carried their family through reinvention.

 

 

This Bourbon Papayo is an exceptionally rare and highly sought-after variety, known for its elongated cherries that resemble a small papaya  a unique mutation within the Bourbon family that few farmers cultivate due to its low yields and demanding agronomic care. It is delicate, uncommon, and truly special.
