Colombia - Chiroso Honey

Description

Chiroso is an incredible coffee variety, somehow only previously appearing in the community of Urrao, Antioquia, high in the Colombian Andes. Once thought to be a local mutation of caturra, new evidence suggests that it may have more in common with the heirloom varieties of Ethiopia.

This lot, from our friends at Pergamino, offers a new perspective on the variety's inherent fruit and floral complexity through honey processing. The result is a super sweet, elegant, amazingly drinkable cup, somehow just as approachable as it is sophisticated. Look for notes like chocolate graham cracker, marshmallow, cherry, peach, lime, and honeysuckle.
