Colombia - Wilder Lazo / Papayo
Papaya, Oolong Tea & Tangerine
Wilder Lazo is actually a veterinarian specialized in livestock farming. As the coffee price continued to decline in 2016 and his father fell seriously ill, he decided to bring the family farm up to speed together with his brother.
Initially, their coffees scored between 80-83 points on the cupping scale, despite elaborate processes and preparations. Wilder started examining soil samples and using targeted nutrients and fertilizers to neutralize the pH value, thereby increasing the availability of nutrients for the coffee trees. He refers to this as precision agriculture.
Country: Colombia
Region: Huila
Farmer: Wilder Lazo
Farm: Bella Alejandria
Variety: Papayo
Process: Washed
Fermentation: For his washed lots, Wilder often extends this anaerobic phase for 72 to 120 hours. He closely monitors pH levels (usually targeting around 4.3) and temperature (around 14°C) to ensure a clean, vibrant profile without "over-fermented" funk.
