A single-origin Colombian coffee grown by Felipe Arcilla in Quindio at 1800-2050 meters altitude. This microlot is 100% Bourbon Papayo, an endemic Colombian varietal traced to Ethiopia Landrace heritage and named for its bean shape. The coffee is washed processed and dried on raised beds. The cup presents as a classic balanced Colombia with soft yellow fruits, hints of cardamom and floral cumin notes. With age, it develops into a jammy tropical cup. As espresso, it offers mellow shots with starfruit, golden delicious apple, and pear characteristics.

Nick and Charlie started S&W Craft Roasting as avid home roasters and built it into a focused, direct to consumer operation based in Coatesville, Indiana. The roastery is veteran owned and runs exclusively online with no brick and mortar retail, keeping the emphasis squarely on the coffee itself. All production goes through a refurbished 1993 Sasa Samiac drum roaster fitted with Agtron color control systems for precise, repeatable results. The catalog runs deep, with roughly 99 single origin varieties sourced from Ethiopia, India, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Colombia, China, and beyond. Their roasting philosophy prioritizes origin character over roast imprint, with no artificial flavorings, preservatives, or additives.
