Colombia Yenser Uran, Chiroso - natural

Rich tropical natural Chiroso varietal, really sweet with a big body. Darker fruits dominate like blackberry, purple and red grapes, red apple, with a citric acidity. 

Chiroso de San Carlos Project is all about unlocking the potential of the Chiroso coffee variety while supporting the hardworking farmers of Urrao, Antioquia. Nestled in the Penderisco River valley at 1,900 meters above sea level, Urrao is a region with deep agricultural roots, where coffee is more than just a crop—it’s a way of life. This project brings together 10 dedicated producers, teaching them new processing techniques to improve quality and help Urrao gain recognition in the world of specialty coffee.

Cherries are placed in sealed bags and left to ferment for three days in a dark room. This controlled, oxygen-free environment intensifies the coffee’s fruit-forward profile. Following fermentation, the cherries undergo sun drying in canopies for 5 to 10 days. Finally, a 21-day stabilization period on tarps, allows the flavours to fully mature.
