The team at Hacienda La Papaya plant exclusive varieties and utilize the best agricultural technology such as drip irrigation. The process begins with Juan's Integrated Coffee Pulse System: a network of soil sensors that continuously measures nutrient levels, humidity, and absorption rates. Once the cherries are hand-selected and pulped, the parchment coffee undergoes a 15-hour controlled washing in pure spring water with complete removal of the mucilage. The parchment is then dried over 11 days in solar drying rooms. Since 2015 the coffee has been recognized in the United States, often placing in the top three of some of the most important international coffee competitions. Juan has won 3 consecutive Sprudge Notable Producer awards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRoaster Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is our third year featuring award-winning producer Juan Peña.
