Introducing our Campo Claro Chiroso, a new single variety lot that is super satiny and geisha-like. Our cuppers adore the sparkly, fruit forward acidity of this microlot which boasts so many fun fruit notes including fruity pebbles, honeysuckle, tangerine, blueberry, and lemon hard candy. We gave this coffee top scores when we blind cupped it (a very hard thing to accomplish among the coffee professionals at our roastery) and highly recommend this coffee for lovers of elegant, yet fun, geisha-like coffees. We highly recommend snagging a bag today!
Farm Level Info. This coffee hails from four neighboring coffee growing families in Huila, Colombia who banded together under the Palestina Crop Management program, a collaborative origin model that emphasizes elevated cup quality and regenerative agriculture (a sustainable growing model that stresses environmentally-friendly growing practices, sustainable land management, and worker safety/well-being).
Variety Info. There is little known about how the Chiroso variety made its way to where it was discovered growing wildly in Antioquia, Colombia. What is known, is that this rare variety offers up an elevated cup quality that mimics the florality of the Geisha variety and the sweetness/silky body of the Pink Bourbon variety. The name Chiroso means “big” or “bumpy” and is thought to be named because its elongated shape resembles achiras, a traditional and imperfectly shaped Colombian biscuit.
Unparalleled quality, a human story, and sustainability – that’s our coffee philosophy.
