His coffee is a distinguished lot among so many wonderful coffees from Urrao this year. This coffee is sweet upfront and the finish is honeyed with a viscid complexion. Notes of plum, black cherry, orangey-citrus and stone fruit come to mind when sipping on this coffee. Brewed as espresso or paired with milk, the compliments of Alvaro's Chiroso cherries are amplified with notes of caramel and spring florals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlvaro comes from a family with deep roots in coffee farming and cattle ranching.
