Chiroso comes from that slang word 'Chiro' which refers to an old and stretched t-shirt.
Chiroso is a mutation of an Ethiopian Landrace originally found in Colombia in the province of Antioquia (Urrao). It is a rare variety to find, which stands out both in the appearance of elongated beans as well as it sensory traits. We can refer to Chiroso as our domesticated Geisha.

Careful selection of ripe cherries with 24-26 degree brix. The cherries are disinfected with alcohol, floaters are removed, and we classify the best cherries.

Anaerobic fermentation for 80 hours, then submerged at temperatures between 35 °C for 36 hours, adding microorganisms reproduced from the same variety.
Anaerobic yeast fermentation highlights the unique fermentation process used to create the coffee’s flavor profile, which can pique the curiosity of coffee enthusiast who appreciate the art and science of coffee production.
