• Washing: The coffee is then washed using a traditional washed process.
• Drying: The parchment is dried on raised African beds for approximately 15 days, allowing for a slow and even reduction in moisture.

Brewing Recommendations:

To showcase the sweetness, dark fruit and chocolate character of this Caturra Chiroso, try the following approaches:

• Pour-Over / Filter: Brings out the blackberry acidity and delicate marzipan sweetness; use a medium-fine grind and 92–94°C water for a clean, layered cup.
• Immersion / French Press: Emphasises the rich chocolate character and body; steep for 3–4 minutes for a fuller, rounded cup.

• Espresso: Produces a rich, syrupy shot with dark chocolate sweetness and hints of blackberry; experiment with a slightly lower temperature to maintain balance and clarity.

Tip*:* Allow the coffee to bloom fully for 30–40 seconds during pour-over to encourage an even extraction and reveal its sweet, fruit-forward aromatics.

Perfect For:

• Coffee lovers who appreciate balanced coffees with rich sweetness and dark fruit character.
• Those looking to explore the distinctive Caturra Chiroso varietal.

• Anyone seeking an exceptional Colombian coffee with both clarity and depth.
