Chiroso Variety
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.
Meet the Producer
Diego and Jhoan Vergara are part of a new, technically trained generation of Huila producers known for scientific processing, competition‑level coffees, and a family‑run farm (Las Flores) that has become one of Colombia’s most influential specialty‑coffee hubs.
Coffees from Las Flores have been used by champions worldwide, including a 3rd place at the US Brewers Cup in 2023, 1st place at the Australia Brewers Cup in 2023, 1st place at the Italy Brewers Cup in 2024, 1st place at the France Ibrik Championship in 2024, and wins by Indonesia’s Barista and Brewers Cup champions in 2024.
Washed Controlled Fermentation
Across all washed lots, the Vergara brothers apply a set of highly controlled, quality‑driven practices: strict cherry selection at 22–26° Brix to ensure uniform ripeness and predictable fermentation; controlled fermentation environments using sealed tanks and temperature management; a deliberate combination of oxidation and anaerobic phases to build aromatic complexity while preserving Chiroso’s natural florality; thermal‑shock washing (hot → cold) to fix volatile aromatics and halt fermentation at the ideal point; and slow, carefully managed drying to stabilise the coffee, protect delicate floral compounds, and guarantee long‑term cup consistency. This combination of precision, sensory intention, and scientific control is what makes their washed Chiroso unusually expressive, clean, and consistent.
