papayo is a colombian coffee from nostos coffee, processed using an anaerobic method, where the beans ferment in a sealed, oxygen-free environment before drying. that process pulls out pronounced stone fruit and tropical fruit character, backed by honey and honeycomb sweetness. expect a cup that leans ripe and sweet rather than bright and acidic. it works well as a filter brew to let the fruit flavors come through cleanly, though it can handle espresso if you want something syrupy and sweet. dial in carefully, as anaerobic coffees can tip toward fermented or boozy if over-extracted.
