Variety: Chiroso Region: Urrao, Antioquia, Colombia Altitude: 2,000 Meters Process: Washed Harvest: March 2026 Notes: Dried Berries, Cascara, Geranium This cup from Edgar has an understated and well balanced character. This Chiroso is clean and consistent. The body and sweetness hit a happy medium. However you decide to brew this coffee, it hits with an approachable brightness that finishes clean. Notes include red currant, dried cherry, a firm minerality, subtle citrus and undertones of garden flowers and cashew butter. This is a great coffee for all types of brew styles & preferences. Edgar is originally from Betulia, where coffee runs deep in his family tradition. He bought his farm in 2017 and moved to Urrao to pursue his passion for quality, but his story in Urrao began way earlier. In 2007, during a training mission with local producers (teaching them about proper drying techniques and specialty coffee), Edgar encountered a variety that stood out. At first, others called it a Caturra, but Edgar knew it was different… That variety was Chiroso. He recognized its potential before it had a name, and from there, the rest is history. His discovery, alongside the work of producer Carmen Cecilia Montoya (Doña Carmen), helped put Urrao and Chiroso on the specialty coffee map. Today, Edgar continues to refine his craft with the same curiosity and dedication that first led him to this exceptional variety. Edgar’s washed process begins with selective harvesting, with the help of women from the vereda. The cherries are floated and undergo a double fermentation: first in baskets overnight, then after depulping, a second fermentation in open stainless steel tanks for 70 hours. The parchment is then washed in channels and laid to dry in marquesinas for approximately 20-25 days, depending on the weather. Chiroso is a varietal that recently has impressed and excited the world of coffee. It has been at the top of Cup of Excellence and a top scoring variety for FlowerChild as well. Chiroso has been identified as an Ethiopian Landrace albeit not much else is known as to how it appeared in Urrao. This coffee continues to impress aficionados and coffee drinkers worldwide. Chiroso is still difficult to acquire, that said, when you can experience it at this level, it is a rare treat. Please enjoy. Our coffees are best after two weeks+ of the roast date. Order by Sunday for next Monday's roast. Shipped on Tuesdays.
