Since first meeting in Aarhus in 2015, they have worked together through multiple small experimental lots, building an ongoing exchange through high-quality coffee. In recent years, Juan has expanded his production, increasing exports of Hacienda La Papaya coffee to Europe and establishing CafExporto, now managing two additional farms in Ecuador.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description rte quick-add-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp data-section-id=\"uyfisl\" data-start=\"473\" data-end=\"492\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTypica Mejorado\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\nJuan’s approach is defined by precision and experimentation, resulting in highly consistent, top-quality micro-lots with distinct flavour profiles.

Here, the washed Typica shows a softer profile, with stone fruit sweetness, white tea notes, and a more rounded, gentle acidity compared to the brighter citrus character of higher-altitude lots.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description rte quick-add-hidden\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll La Cabra coffees are roasted for both filter and espresso.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Cabra","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":61918356209994,"sku":"la_cabra_yacuri_typica","price":22.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/4435\/8474\/files\/v2_yacuri-typica.png?v=1779854433"},{"product_id":"la-cabra-hacienda-la-papaya-bourbon-ecuador-anaerobic","title":"La Papaya","description":"\u003cp\u003eJuan Peña’s CafExporto project builds on the work of Hacienda La Papaya, expanding coffee production and export across different regions of Ecuador.
