Jose Flores

by Flower Child

Variety: Chiroso Farm: El Silencio Region: Urrao, Antioquia, Colombia Elevation: 2,050 Meters Above Sea Level Process: Washed Harvest: February 2024 Notes: Vanilla, date, light florality cane sugar.  Our latest Chiroso offering is a well rounded cup. Hot to cool this profile has glossy-clean feel, clove honey sweetness and Typica-esque pear finish. I also get notes of vanilla bean, pluot elderberry. This cup is noticeably bigger in body than other Chiroso's we've offered this year, it's got a unique dark-berry feel all around. This lot was obtained by processing cherries picked the same day, the coffee is de-pulped and left in a concrete fermentation tank for about 6 days, Jose adds water to the fermentation, but he changes this water every day. At the end of the fermentation process, he washes and dries the coffee immediately; he believes it is very important to drain the water right away and leave the coffee to dry in the greenhouse to ensure that no defects appear in the cup.
