Our first Chiroso from Urrao this year is an approachable and an easy coffee to enjoy. This profile is big in body with a medium-light weight on the palate. The prominent note with this lot is apple, there is also a pleasant spring of bright stone fruit and dried fruit that comes up as well. At cooler temperatures this cup holds it's round and light feel with a delicate florality & a carmelized base of sweetness.
Jhon and his family have made a name for themselves as excellent cultivators of the now highly saught after Chiroso. This is a new discovery of a Landrace variety poplularized by the Urrao region producers of Colombia. This farm is named La Estrella and is located in Urrao, Antioquía, Colombia, managed by Jhon Alexander Bermudez, a second-generation coffee grower. The farm consists of 3 hectares of land, and it sits at an elevation of 1,930+ meters, boasting around 11,000 coffee trees in production of the Chiroso variety.
Jhon processes his coffee in “Cochadas”, or batches, and starts by de-pulping the cherries he collects throughout the week. He adds the first, second, and third day’s harvest to a fermentation tank, allowing about 8 days total for the entire fermentation process. Once the 8 days are up, he ends up with an incredible fermentation gradient that he washes with plenty of water and dries in a greenhouse for 8-13 days, depending on the weather.
Jhon lives with his wife and two daughters at the farm. The entire family is actively involved in the day-to-day operations, and they all work tirelessly to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Juliana (20) and Valentina (7) are no exception, and they love working alongside their parents and learning new skills. Jhon is grateful for his family’s unwavering support and acknowledges that they are the driving force behind his success. He firmly believes that his daughters are capable of carrying on the family legacy and dreams of passing the farm down to them one day. The farm’s coffee has consistently outshined its competitors in various local and national competitions.
