Kulstofnegativ kaffe



Jairo Arcila, en førende skikkelse inden for colombiansk kaffe, har over 40 års erfaring med at producere kaffe af høj kvalitet. Hans sønner, Felipe og Carlos, fortsætter hans arv gennem Cofinet-importører, vores primære kilde til colombiansk kaffe.

Kaffesorten Papayo, som hovedsageligt findes i Huila, Colombia, har mystiske oprindelser. Oprindeligt antaget at være en Caturra-mutation, er den nu forbundet med etiopiske sorter, der på en eller anden måde fandt vej til Colombia. Dens aflange bær minder om papayafrugt, deraf navnet. Jairo har lånt en vinfremstillingsteknik – kulsyremaceration – ved at bruge kuldioxid under gæringen. Dette skaber en kompleks, forstærket, frugtdrevet smagsprofil.

Riley Q. ★★★★★

The carbonic maceration really comes through in the cup—it’s got this juicy, almost wine-like brightness that I haven’t found in other naturals from the region. At 1500 MASL, it’s balanced enough for my morning pour-over but interesting enough to sip black on its own.

Claire J. ★★★★★

This lot from Jairo Arcila is the first coffee I've had from a 1500-meter farm that still tastes this juicy, and the papayo cultivar brings a sweetness I can't quite place. The carbonic maceration natural process makes for a clean, almost wine-like cup that I keep coming back to.

Elizabeth J. ★★★★★

The carbonic maceration really comes through—it’s fruity and lively without being sharp, and at 1500 meters the acidity feels bright but smooth. I brewed it as a pour-over and the sweetness lingered nicely. Wish the bag lasted longer, honestly.
