The Story of the Coffee from Kawa
Hacienda La Papaya farm and estate is owned and operated by Juan Peña, Ecuador's most famous specialty coffee producer. He and his coffee have won the Sprudge, the Best Producer Award and several American Barista Championships.
Juan grows several varieties on his land, including Typica, Sidra, B7 and Gesha. He mainly grows Typica ‘Mejorado’, the enhanced version of the varietal, first grown on Nestle’s experimental farms in the north of Ecuador. Juan puts much of his success down to the combination of high yield and incredible cup quality that these Mejorado plants provide. The Hacienda is also home to plots of Mejorado’s Nestle sibling Sidra, and a very limited amount of Geisha, while a small plot of Pacamara near the top of the farm is awaiting its first big harvest.
