Colombia Chiroso

Chiroso Creamy Cultured Brilliance

Creamy Cultured Brilliance exemplifies innovation in Colombian speciality coffee, cultivated by Jhoan Vergara at Finca Las Flores in Acevedo, Huila. Grown at 1750 MASL, the rare Chiroso varietal is a unique Ethiopian Landrace mutation, known for its elongated beans and often called the “domesticated Geisha”.

This coffee is processed through a detailed LAB fermentation. Cherries are carefully picked at 24-26 degrees Brix, disinfected, and float-sorted before undergoing 48 hours of oxidation. They are then cooled rapidly and fermented anaerobically with yeast for 80 hours, followed by a second fermentation submerged at 35°C for 36 hours, inoculated with native microbes.

Drying is completed using the Pristine Precision Drying system, reducing moisture to 11.5% in controlled stainless steel dehumidifiers. After stabilising for two weeks, the coffee is ready for roasting.

The cup is vibrant and layered with notes of mint, raspberry, strawberry jam, baked fruits, and subtle cultured hints like custard. It has a creamy, juicy texture with a buttery body and an elegant, lingering finish.
