Juan Peña’s reputation for crafting exceptional coffees precedes him. He holds three “Sprudgie” Notable Producer awards, a master’s degree in agronomy, and maintains an agreement with Cuenca’s University for research and development, in addition to having his coffees regularly featured on the global competition stages. Hacienda la Papaya boasts consecutive top 3 placements in brewers, baristas, and/or roasters championships in the US circuit beginning in 2016. The farm, Hacienda La Papaya, is just 28 acres in size, but benefits from high elevation and good microclimates. We’ve tasted some show-stopping coffees from Ecuador over the years, and these lots from Hacienda La Papaya continue that trend.
