PROCESS LOT INFO

Variety

Chiroso is a name used for distinctive Arabica selections cultivated in Colombia. Genetic research has linked tested material to the Ethiopian genetic group. Its interest for specialty coffee lies in cup-quality potential rather than a guaranteed set of flavors.

Processing

The process begins by floating the cherries to remove any defects, followed by a wash using a 5% alcohol solution to effectively eliminate impurities. Once this step is complete, the cherries undergo a 12 hours oxidation process in open plastic bags, followed by a 48 hour submerged fermentation process
