The coffee is silky and sweet with a long, clean lychee finish. Clean Funky Terroir Experimental About The Producer Wilder Lasso (or 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. Processing Wilder Lazo ensures that the soil is very well supplied with nutrients. Then, the fully ripe, extremely large fruits are harvested and washed in water tanks to separate them from impurities and floating beans. For this Chiroso lot, the coffee cherries were immediately pulped, placed in containers and was then anaerobically fermented for 40 hours submerged in water. The fermentation within the coffee cherry emphasizes fruitiness and funkiness, but for this Chiroso lot, Wilder wanted to highlight the intrinsic flavours of passion fruit, lavender, and its vibrant aroma. Variety Chiroso is a newer variety being grown primarily in the region of Antioquia, Colombia. While we've only been aware of Chiroso for a few years, it is becoming very popular in Colombia because of it's quality potential. The variety has been genetically identified as an Ethiopian Landrace, but we unfortunately cannot get any more specific than that at this time. Direct $26.6USD/KG Another stunning lot from Wilder, and the third time we've featured his coffee this year (2024), this coffee is intensely aromatic and reminds us of lavender, white honey and lychee.
