The parchment was then gently washed and then dried in temperature controlled conditions until ideal moisture content was achieved. This microlot comes from the Papayo varietal trees.

This is a high cup score microlot achieving an impressive 88 points. Tasting notes include nectarine, rose and lychee. Show more
