Sourced through our friends at Unblended, this release highlights an exciting new chapter for Caicedo's young producer community and showcases the quality and potential emerging from this region. Their journey began when producer Danilo Flórez shared Chiroso seeds with them, inspiring exploration into differentiated varieties. With guidance from producer and processor Elkin Diosa, they began learning the craft of fermentation and processing. Chiroso is a distinctive variety first identified in Antioquia, Colombia, believed to be a natural mutation of Ethiopian landrace varieties. It's prized for its complexity often showing floral sweetness, fruit-forward character, and a tea-like body. This washed Chiroso undergoes a 48-hour cherry fermentation in open tanks before being de-pulped, washed, and dried on sun beds until reaching 12% moisture.

What high acidity means
Colombia Young Producer Chiroso - Washed is a high-acidity coffee from Caicedo, Antioquia, Colombia. Acidity means a bright, lively taste, not a sour cup. The caramel apple note is part of that brightness.
- Brew it as a pour-over or Chemex if you want that brightness clear and easy to taste.
- If it tastes sharp, grind a little coarser or use water around 195°F.
- Cold brew is the softer path. A long cold steep keeps the fruit and takes the snap out.
- V60A fast cone and a thin paper filter. This coffee tastes brighter, with each note a little more separate.
