Product Description Producer Sebastian Gomez Cultivar Chiroso Process Extended Washed Location Circasia, Quindio Altitude 1700 - 1800 masl Harvest Febuary 2025 Expect notes of Grapefruit, Lime, Floral Chiroso is one of our favourite varieties here at Kiss the Hippo. This much-discussed cultivar was once believed to be a natural local mutation of bourbon, however, recent genetic testing has revealed its origins in Ethiopia, which explains its delightful floral and intense fruit flavours. This particular lot comes from Sebastian Gomez, a newcomer for us, located in the heart of the traditional coffee-growing triangle in Quindio. This coffee features a traditional washed profile with an extended fermentation process designed by our good friend Felipe Arcilia of Jardines De Eden. The whole coffee cherries undergo open-air fermentation for 24 hours, followed by 50 hours in sealed containers under strict temperature control. They are then pulped, washed, and dried on African raised beds until they reach 11% moisture. The result is an extremely vibrant, clean, and floral coffee with notes of grapefruit, lime and florals. Roast type We don’t label our coffee as espresso or filter. Instead, for each coffee we create a unique roasting profile, designed to bring out the best flavours from its origin, farm and milling method. That’s why, instead, we label our coffee based on the experience it brings to the cup. COFFEE EXPERIENCES UNIQUE & INTERESTING: Boundary-pushing coffee unlike anything you’ve tried before.
