- Variety: Chiroso - Country: Colombia - Region: Urrao, Antioquia - Process: Washed - Altitude: 2100 MASL - Producer: David Berrio - Farm: Finca La Casita - Roast Level: Light In the cup In the cup we taste red fruits reminiscent of juicy red grapes and sweet pomegranate. This coffee has a light body and a sparkling citric acidity that reminds us of limes and lingers in the finish of the cup. Clean Funky Terroir Experimental About The Producer David Berrio is a second-generation coffee producer who was first introduced to specialty coffee by his brother-in-law. He was taught how to maintain coffee plants sustainably and how to manage different fermentation processes. His farm, Finca La Casita, was bought by his grandfather 15 years ago and inherited by his father. In addition to coffee, David and his family grow avocados, bananas, and plantains that provide shade for the coffee plants. David is currently building his own house with the profits he receives from coffee production. Processing The coffee is picked and left in sacks for two days before being transported by horse to the road and then taken by car to the main house. This travel journey alone can take a couple of hours! The coffee is then de-pulped and left in a stainless steel tank for 5 days with just enough water to cover it. The drying process takes place in a traditional Colombian called a “casa helda.” Variety Chiroso is a newer variety being grown primarily in the region of Antiquoia, Colombia. While we’ve only been aware of Chiroso for a few years, it is becoming very popular in Colombia because of its quality potential. The variety has been genetically identified as an Ethiopian Landrace. Transparency We Paid $19.29 USD/KG Roasted Costs $24.68 USD/KG This is our second time featuring a coffee from David. This Chiroso is incredibly sweet, juicy, and bright, presenting with a light body and a sparkling lime finish on our cupping table.
