It is always exciting to receive an exceptionally fresh first-pass harvest from La Casita, the smallest Chiroso garden we work with. In the cup we find ripe tropical fruit, white tea, and exceptional sweetness and structure.\n\nDavid Berrio’s farm, La Casita, is the most remote site we work with in Urrao. At 1.5 hectares (~3.7 acres), it is more a garden than a farm—perched at extreme elevation and producing some of the most dynamic and expressive examples of the Chiroso variety we taste each year. Urrao remains difficult to access, but we have discovered a way in via an avocado transport plane. This year, we hope to finally visit and learn more about the incredible producers behind these special coffees.\n\nABOUT CHIROSO\nChiroso is a new variety being grown primarily in the region of Antioquia, Colombia. We only started hearing about its cultivation a couple of years ago, but because of its cup quality potential it is beginning to spread. The variety has been genetically identified as an Ethiopian Landrace, but unfortunately we cannot get any more specific than that at this time. We have been working very hard building a buying program in the region of Urrao specifically around the variety of Chiroso. We still don't know where or how this variety came to be cultivated in this particular region, but its cup quality is extraordinary. We will be working with our exporting partner, The Coffee Quest, to continue developing this project, and hope that we'll be able to bring you more of this special coffee from this special region year after year.","origins":[{"country":"CO","region":"Antioquia","producer":"David Berrio","farm":"La Casita","elevation_min":2100,"elevation_max":2100,"latitude":0.0,"longitude":0.0,"process":"Washed","variety":"Chiroso","harvest_date":"2025-07-01T00:00:00","fob_price":null,"farm_gate_price":null,"price_paid_to_producer":null,"price_currency":null,"importer_name":null,"country_full_name":"Colombia"}],"is_single_origin":true,"price_paid_for_green_coffee":null,"currency_of_price_paid_for_green_coffee":null,"roast_level":null,"roast_profile":"Filter","price_options":null,"price":20.0,"weight":250,"currency":"GBP","is_decaf":false,"cupping_score":null,"tasting_notes":[{"note":"Ripe Tropical Fruit","primary_category":"Fruity"},{"note":"White Tea","primary_category":"Floral"},{"note":"Exceptional Sweetness And Structure","primary_category":"Sweet"}],"in_stock":true,"scraped_at":"2025-10-21T23:47:03.867138","scraper_version":"2.0","raw_data":null,"roaster_country_code":"US","id":90,"clean_url_slug":"2025_david_berrio_la_casita_new_season_-_colombia_washed","bean_url_path":"/sey_coffee/2025_david_berrio_la_casita_new_season_-_colombia_washed","date_added":null,"price_converted":false},{"name":"Black Moon - Chiroso lot 54","roaster":"Archers Coffee","url":"https://archerscoffee.com/collections/espresso-milk-coffees-2025/products/black-mooon-chiroso-lot-54","image_url":"/static/data/roasters/archers_coffee/20250908/black_moon_-_chiroso_lot_54_natural_anaerobic_192136.png","description":"Producer: Hunter Tedman\nFarm: Black Moon Farm\nLocation : Alto Quiel, Boquete\nVariety: Chiroso\nProcess: Natural Anaerobic - DRD \nAltitude: 1,700 masl\n\n\n\nFermentation\n\n ▪▪▪▫▫\n\n\n\nSweetness\n▪▪▪▪▪\n\n\n\nAcidity\n\n ▪▪▪▫▫\n\n\n\nRoast\n\n ▪▪▫▫▫\n\n\n\nBlack Moon Farm is the SCA Panama President Hunter Tedman’s regenerative agriculture project focused foremost on restoring soil health by increasing biodiversity, which has led to cultivating excellent quality coffees. \n\nExotic varieties whose harvests have received widespread acclaim are the Panama Geisha — direct descendants of the original stock acquired from Costa Rica in the 1960s — and the Chiroso, an Ethiopian landrace drawing increased attention, initially in Colombia. \n\nIn the 2024 Best of Panama, Black Moon Chiroso garnered the top award at 1st Place after placing 2nd in the 2023 competition, while a Black Moon Panama Geisha made 10th among the Washed Category auction lots in 2024 as well.\n\nHunter's vision is for Black Moon to flourish as a biodiverse food forest, after having evolved into a luxury-caliber coffee farm from its modest start as a vegetable plantation.

Edinson has taken the skillset he learned working at Granja Paraiso 92 and really driven Quebraditas through a stratospheric rise in notoriety, and we're stoked to have been an early part in promoting his work.\nWe cupped a series of Edison's competition coffees earlier in the year when selecting our showcase coffee for the London Coffee Festival - this lot was tied as our joint favourite, but was a little too close in profile (berry jam notes) to the other coffees we were featuring. We had to have it, so this lot has been shipped by sea and is an absolute belter.\n\nBrew Guide:\nBest Brewed with: Filter\nLightest Roaster Influence: Mega high processing intervention made this one of our lowest end temperatures yet - chasing clarity and acidity, without high process character.\nBest Rested: 3-4 weeks\nFilter: 60g/L & 94°C, with rest we like to move down to 60g/L & 91°C\nEspresso: Turbo shots + 3 weeks rest. 18g/50g+ & 20s - we prefer when this coffee is more dilute\nWe’re tasting: Very process heavy aromatics of boozy strawberry & white chocolate truffles. In the cup it's very reminiscent of Campino sweets - ripe strawberries and sweet cream as the dominant note. Adding complexity there's elderberry syrup, blackberry, banana foam sweets and a very mild hint of sloe gin that integrates well with the process character of the cup.

The variety was discovered in Urrao, Antioquia, and gained recognition when Carmen Montoya's lot scored 91.3 points in the 2014 Colombian Cup of Excellence - the highest score that year.\nThree distinct phenotypes exist in Urrao: the original Bourbon Chiroso (taller), Caturra Chiroso (dwarf), and base Chiroso. Research suggests Caturra Chiroso appears to be a regression of Bourbon Chiroso, with small percentages of Bourbon Chiroso seeds yielding the shorter variety. Both types produce different cherry characteristics - some deep red, others yellow/orange, requiring selective harvesting for optimal quality.\nThe Chiroso grown both at Quebraditas and at Chorro Alto (Luz Ángela's family farm) are both the Caturra Chiroso phentotype.\nThe variety responds particularly well to high-level processing intervention due to its Ethiopian genetics and high sugar content, making it an ideal canvas for Edinson's advanced fermentation techniques.\nQuebraditas Orphaned and working from age 11, Edinson Argote found coffee after his military service at a Colombian buying station. He mastered quality control and fermentation techniques while running QC at a major Piendamó farm, then launched Quebraditas - an 8-hectare farm planted with exotic varieties. His girlfriend Luz Angela's family already had a traditional 10-hectare farm called Chorro Alto. While Quebraditas is still young, Edinson's processing knowledge has proven vital in his partnership with El Jaragual, helping establish it as speciality coffee's newest standout producer.\nColombia's position as the epicentre of experimental processing continues evolving — knowledge spreading beyond initial pioneers into a wider network of skilled producers. We're seeing more variety offered in these high technical intervention lots, and even the spread outside of Colombia (We've seen in the previous few months producers in Peru, India and Ethiopia start to deploy these techniques).\nWe were stoked to be on the first wave of roasters offering coffee from Edinson and Luz - his Gesha was a standout of the 2024 offer. Meeting Edinson and Luz Angela at Manchester's Altogether Brewing event was a brilliant moment of connection and we're stoked to keep promoting their work.","origins":[{"country":"CO","region":"Oporapa, Huila","producer":"Edinson Argote & Luz Ángela Rojas","farm":"Quebraditas","elevation_min":1850,"elevation_max":1850,"latitude":0.0,"longitude":0.0,"process":"Natural","variety":"Chiroso","harvest_date":null,"fob_price":null,"farm_gate_price":null,"price_paid_to_producer":null,"price_currency":null,"importer_name":null,"country_full_name":"Colombia"}],"is_single_origin":true,"price_paid_for_green_coffee":null,"currency_of_price_paid_for_green_coffee":null,"roast_level":"Light","roast_profile":null,"price_options":null,"price":12.5,"weight":100,"currency":"GBP","is_decaf":false,"cupping_score":null,"tasting_notes":[{"note":"Blackberry","primary_category":"Fruity"},{"note":"Campino Sweets","primary_category":"Sweet"},{"note":"White Chocolate Truffles","primary_category":"Cocoa"},{"note":"Sloe Gin","primary_category":"Alcohol/Fermented"},{"note":"Elderberry Syrup","primary_category":"Fruity"},{"note":"Banana Foam Sweets","primary_category":"Fruity"},{"note":"Boozy Strawberry","primary_category":"Fruity"}],"in_stock":false,"scraped_at":"2025-10-21T23:40:36.513736","scraper_version":"2.0","raw_data":null,"roaster_country_code":"GB","id":550,"clean_url_slug":"colombia_-_quebraditas_advanced_natural_chiroso_natural","bean_url_path":"/scenery_coffee/colombia_-_quebraditas_advanced_natural_chiroso_natural","date_added":null,"price_converted":false},{"name":"Colombia Las Flores","roaster":"Slurp Coffee Roasters","url":"https://slurpcoffeeroasters.com.ua/kolumbiia-las-flores/","image_url":"/static/data/roasters/slurp_coffee_roasters/20250920/colombia_las_flores_natural_012541.png","description":"Las Flores — Chiroso, Colombia\n\nThis coffee comes from the Las Flores farm, located in the Nariño department, Colombia.

Grown in the highlands of Huila, Colombia, Chiroso is known for its elongated cherries and distinctive flavour profile. This lot delivers a vibrant cup, with notes of bright tropical fruit, chocolate, and a cooling touch of menthol. Nestor’s precise and innovative approach to processing is on full display here. Ripe cherries were manually selected, disinfected, and floated to remove any defects. Fermentation took place in carefully controlled stages: beginning with 36 hours of aerobic oxidation, followed by 48 hours of anaerobic fermentation at 17–20 °C, and then 24 hours of submerged fermentation using recirculated leachates at 17–23 °C, with constant circulation. The coffee was then subjected to a thermal shock at 65–70 °C to halt microbial activity and lock in flavour. Drying was carried out in a sealed environment to protect delicate aromatics, with a maximum temperature of 37 °C and a final moisture content of 10–11%. This is the first time we’re showcasing Chiroso from El Diviso — a beautifully executed lot from one of Colombia’s most forward-thinking producers.\n\nEight years ago, brothers Nestor and Adrian Lasso made a bold decision: rather than following the traditional methods passed down by their parents, they chose to explore the world of specialty coffee and experimental processing. Today, at just 25 and 27, they’ve become part of a new generation of Colombian producers pushing the boundaries of quality and innovation. Together with Jhoan Vergara, another young producer from a coffee-farming family, they founded El Diviso — a project that brings together their two family farms: El Diviso (Lasso brothers) and Las Flores (Vergara), near Pitalito, in southern Huila. This partnership has allowed them to pool their knowledge, resources, and passion to consistently produce exceptional coffees. Six years ago, the team began working closely with Cat and Pierre, founders of CATA Export, to refine fermentation techniques and develop protocols that would elevate their coffees for the international market. This collaboration has required time, trust, and significant investment — but the results speak for themselves. Their coffees have become a fixture in barista competitions across Europe, and around the world.

This special chiroso variety was grown on Jorge's farm El Proceso, under the care of his cousin Stiven Vargas. This delicious coffee is juicy and tart with plump apricot and meyer lemon flavors. Prodigal requested a low fermentation-time coffee, and Nikolai from Desarrolladores de Cafe worked with Jorge and Stiven to produce this lot. After each harvest day, they brought the coffee down to Jorge's La Roca processing plant in Planadas. After floating to remove defects, they pulped the coffee, let it sit overnight, and washed it the next day. The coffee then dried for 15 days in drying rooms called Marquesinas (pictured). We're grateful for Jorge's coffees as well as his broader impact in fostering interest in coffee among newer farmers.

To us this coffee has tonnes of tropical fruit notes like mango, passionfruit and papaya. We’ve noticed quite a few yeast inoculated coffees have displayed flavours like raspberry, grapefruit and rose and those are definitely present in this one too. As this is an ‘advanced natural’ process it does also have an extra level of funk and booziness that the ‘advanced washed’ coffees that we’ve release don’t quite have. It’s a juicy banger!\n\nThe Story\nLuz Ángela Rojas is a Colombian coffee producer who has emerged as a compelling figure in the specialty coffee sector. Based in Oporapa, Huila, she co-manages a family-run estate called Finca Chorro Alto and collaborates with partner Edinson Argote through a broader project known as Quebraditas, encompassing two farms totalling around ten hectares .\n\nRaised among coffee plants, Rojas initially pursued a career in healthcare, earning degrees in nursing and administration. During the COVID pandemic she returned to her roots and applied her management rigor to coffee farming, introducing systematic agronomic controls and high precision fruit selection \n\nRojas represents a new generation of female leaders in Colombian coffee, blending technical innovation with deep respect for tradition and terroir. Her micro lot approach and varietal experimentation shine a light on Huila’s potential in the specialty market.\n\nTechnical Stuff\nChiroso is a rare Colombian coffee variety believed to be a spontaneous mutation of Caturra with Ethiopian landrace genetics. It is most commonly found in Antioquia and Huila, where it thrives at high altitudes. Chiroso cherries are elongated and smaller than typical Caturra, producing a cup celebrated for its florality and tropical sweetness. Flavor notes often include jasmine, bergamot, mango, citrus, and delicate honey-like sweetness, making it highly sought after in the specialty coffee market. Its unique sensory profile, combined with small-scale production, makes Chiroso an exclusive offering often processed using experimental fermentations like anaerobic natural or honey methods.\n\nWe do love a complicated processing technique at Atkinson’s and this sure is another example of that! Here’s a breakdown of Luz’s process with this coffee:\n\n1. Harvesting: Making sure that at least 80% of the picked cherries are fully ripe.\n2. Floating: This step guarantees the removal of unripe, overripe, and dried cherries.\n3. Processing: NATURAL – Double fermentation. The initial fermentation lasts 60 hours, then the coffee is dried for approximately twelve days until it reaches 20% moisture. It is then rehydrated with “mosto” for 4 days with specific yeast.\n4. Drying: After the second fermentation, the coffee is dried for 76 hours at an average temperature of 40°C.\n5. Stabilization: The coffee is stabilized in GrainPro-type bags.","origins":[{"country":"CO","region":"Huila","producer":"Luz Angela Rojas","farm":null,"elevation_min":0,"elevation_max":0,"latitude":0.0,"longitude":0.0,"process":"Double Natural with Mosto","variety":"Chiroso","harvest_date":null,"fob_price":null,"farm_gate_price":null,"price_paid_to_producer":null,"price_currency":null,"importer_name":null,"country_full_name":"Colombia"}],"is_single_origin":true,"price_paid_for_green_coffee":null,"currency_of_price_paid_for_green_coffee":null,"roast_level":null,"roast_profile":null,"price_options":null,"price":16.0,"weight":250,"currency":"GBP","is_decaf":false,"cupping_score":null,"tasting_notes":[{"note":"Mango","primary_category":"Fruity"},{"note":"Raspberry","primary_category":"Fruity"},{"note":"Boozy","primary_category":"Alcohol/Fermented"}],"in_stock":false,"scraped_at":"2025-10-13T17:08:14.949522","scraper_version":"2.0","raw_data":null,"roaster_country_code":"GB","id":1822,"clean_url_slug":"luz_angela_rojas_double_natural_with_mosto","bean_url_path":"/atkinson's_coffee_roasters/luz_angela_rojas_double_natural_with_mosto","date_added":null,"price_converted":false},{"name":"Luz Angela Rojas, Finca Chorro Alto","roaster":"Crankhouse Coffee","url":"https://www.crankhousecoffee.co.uk/products/luz-angela-rojas-finca-chorro-alto","image_url":"/static/data/roasters/crankhouse_coffee/20250826/luz_angela_rojas_finca_chorro_alto_yeast_inoculated_anaerobic_natural_thermal_shock_double_fermentat_224709.png","description":"Luz Angela Rojas has a story which is becoming more familiar with young professionals returning to their roots and taking over their family farms. Angela grew up surrounded by coffee helping her parents. During a period of coffee price crisis her parents urged her to go and study and do something different. She did exactly that and became a healthcare professional, but coffee was always calling her back.\n\nThis led to her returning to het family farm and used her knowledge of healthcare management to integrate this into coffee production. A new project was born: a family dream that not only seeks to preserve the roots of coffee but to transform, innovate, and make it unique. Ángela is committed to offering differentiated coffee with a wide variety of flavours, but to achieve this, it is essential to begin with quality agronomic work. Her goal is for the coffees to be so exquisite that, without the need for complicated processes, they can captivate the final customers.\n\nThe project is entirely family-run, and everyone involved is more motivated than ever to continue learning and taking the coffee from the farm to new horizons. Ángela, with her experience, dedication, and vision, has transformed the family legacy into a model of innovation within coffee farming, never losing sight of the essence of what it means to work the land and the coffee.\n\nSome of you may recognise the person alongside Angela in the main pic. This is Edinson Argote and we've had a number of amazing coffees from him in the last two years. This new partnership between these young producers creates a powerhouse of knowledge and care across their two farms (Chorro Alto and Quebraditas). Edinson's knowledge of advanced processing techniques including inoculation and thermal shock are evident in this coffee but in a minimalist way.\n\nFor this natural Chiroso, the following steps were undertaken:\n\n1. Harvesting: Making sure that at least 80% of the picked cherries are fully ripe.\n2. Floating: This step guarantees the removal of unripe, overripe, and dried cherries.\n3.

This profile lends itself to filter brewing and not espresso style and 3 weeks rest after roast date is highly recommended.","origins":[{"country":"CO","region":"Huila","producer":"Luz Angela Rojas, Edinson Argote","farm":"Finca Chorro Alto","elevation_min":1850,"elevation_max":1850,"latitude":0.0,"longitude":0.0,"process":"Yeast inoculated anaerobic natural, thermal shock, double fermentation","variety":"Chiroso","harvest_date":null,"fob_price":null,"farm_gate_price":null,"price_paid_to_producer":null,"price_currency":null,"importer_name":null,"country_full_name":"Colombia"}],"is_single_origin":true,"price_paid_for_green_coffee":null,"currency_of_price_paid_for_green_coffee":null,"roast_level":"Light","roast_profile":"Filter","price_options":null,"price":20.0,"weight":250,"currency":"GBP","is_decaf":false,"cupping_score":null,"tasting_notes":[{"note":"Fig","primary_category":"Fruity"},{"note":"Blood Orange","primary_category":"Fruity"},{"note":"Campari","primary_category":"Alcohol/Fermented"}],"in_stock":false,"scraped_at":"2025-10-21T23:39:57.263879","scraper_version":"2.0","raw_data":null,"roaster_country_code":"GB","id":1823,"clean_url_slug":"luz_angela_rojas_finca_chorro_alto_yeast_inoculated_anaerobic_natural_thermal_shock_double_fermentat","bean_url_path":"/crankhouse_coffee/luz_angela_rojas_finca_chorro_alto_yeast_inoculated_anaerobic_natural_thermal_shock_double_fermentat","date_added":null,"price_converted":false},{"name":"Multi stage Washed Chiroso","roaster":"Standout Coffee AB","url":"https://www.standoutcoffee.com/collections/featured-collection/products/multi-stage-washed-chiroso-by-jhoan-vergara-colombia","image_url":"/static/data/roasters/standout_coffee_ab/20251021/multi_stage_washed_chiroso_washed_233924.png","description":"## Multi-Stage Washed Process — Las Flores, Huila\n\nThis Chiroso lot goes through an intricate **three-phase fermentation** designed to bring out florality, structured acidity, and layered sweetness while maintaining remarkable clarity.\n\n### 1. 24 h Anaerobic Fermentation in Cherry\nFreshly harvested cherries are placed in sealed tanks without oxygen. Inside this low-oxygen environment, yeasts and bacteria begin to ferment the mucilage slowly, emphasizing **fruit precursors and floral esters**. This stage builds the aromatic foundation — rosewater and jasmine tones typical of Chiroso — while maintaining a clean acid structure.\n\n### 2. 48 h Oxidation before Washing\nAfter the anaerobic phase, cherries are exposed to oxygen in open tanks. This “oxidation” step allows controlled aerobic fermentation, deepening sugars and producing **mandarin-like acidity** and gentle spice notes. By extending contact with oxygen before pulping, Jhoan adds a saison-like complexity — lively, effervescent, and bright.\n\n### 3. Washing and 12 h Post-Wash Oxidation\nThe coffee is then depulped, traditionally washed to remove mucilage, and rested again in open air for about 12 hours. This short, final oxidation polishes the profile — refining acidity and sweetness while stabilizing the flavor precursors created earlier.\n\n### 4. Mechanical Drying\nFinally, the parchment is dried mechanically under low heat and continuous airflow. This ensures **consistency and stability**, key for Huila’s humid microclimate, and locks in the floral aromatics and clean finish.\n\n## Sensory Result\n\nThis careful choreography of anaerobic and oxidative stages gives the cup its **rosewater florals**, **mandarin sweetness**, and **saison-like vibrancy**, with **jasmine and baking spice** carrying through a long, elegant finish.\n\n## Producer Background\n\nJhoan Vergara’s story begins in the early 1990s, when his parents migrated from Cundinamarca to Huila after an uncle found success there. Coffee farming was already part of the family’s roots — Jhoan’s grandparents were producers in northern Colombia.\n\nStarting with 15 hectares of land, the family initially planted just 2 hectares of coffee, mostly Caturra, eventually expanding to around 90,000 trees. For the first decade and a half, their focus was on local markets and commercial coffee, as the specialty movement was still emerging in Colombia.\n\nIn the early 2000s, Jhoan’s mother submitted a coffee to the Cup of Excellence competition. Though she didn’t win, the experience marked a turning point.

Inside this low-oxygen environment, yeasts and bacteria begin to ferment the mucilage slowly, emphasizing fruit precursors and floral esters. This stage builds the aromatic foundation — rosewater and jasmine tones typical of Chiroso — while maintaining a clean acid structure.\n\n2. 48 h Oxidation before Washing\nAfter the anaerobic phase, cherries are exposed to oxygen in open tanks. This “oxidation” step allows controlled aerobic fermentation, deepening sugars and producing mandarin-like acidity and gentle spice notes. By extending contact with oxygen before pulping, Jhoan adds a saison-like complexity — lively, effervescent, and bright.\n\n3. Washing and 12 h Post-Wash Oxidation\nThe coffee is then depulped, traditionally washed to remove mucilage, and rested again in open air for about 12 hours. This short, final oxidation polishes the profile — refining acidity and sweetness while stabilizing the flavor precursors created earlier.\n\n4. Mechanical Drying\nFinally, the parchment is dried mechanically under low heat and continuous airflow. This ensures consistency and stability, key for Huila’s humid microclimate, and locks in the floral aromatics and clean finish.\n\n\nSensory Result\n\nThis careful choreography of anaerobic and oxidative stages gives the cup its rosewater florals, mandarin sweetness, and saison-like vibrancy, with jasmine and baking spice carrying through a long, elegant finish.\n\n\nProducer Background\n\nJhoan Vergara’s story begins in the early 1990s, when his parents migrated from Cundinamarca to Huila after an uncle found success there. Coffee farming was already part of the family’s roots — Jhoan’s grandparents were producers in northern Colombia.\n\nStarting with 15 hectares of land, the family initially planted just 2 hectares of coffee, mostly Caturra, eventually expanding to around 90,000 trees. For the first decade and a half, their focus was on local markets and commercial coffee, as the specialty movement was still emerging in Colombia.\n\nIn the early 2000s, Jhoan’s mother submitted a coffee to the Cup of Excellence competition. Though she didn’t win, the experience marked a turning point. The family began pursuing higher quality, and Jhoan became deeply curious about coffee — where it went, who bought it, and how it was perceived.\n\nAt 15, he left school in Pitalito to dedicate himself fully to the farm. His curiosity led him to the SENA (Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje), where he studied agronomy, cupping, roasting, and brewing. There, he met Nestor Lasso, beginning a friendship and collaboration that would go on to shape a new generation of innovative Colombian coffee producers.","origins":[{"country":"CO","region":"Huila","producer":"Jhoan Vergara","farm":"Las Flores","elevation_min":0,"elevation_max":0,"latitude":0.0,"longitude":0.0,"process":"Multi-stage Washed","variety":"Chiroso","harvest_date":null,"fob_price":null,"farm_gate_price":null,"price_paid_to_producer":null,"price_currency":null,"importer_name":null,"country_full_name":"Colombia"}],"is_single_origin":true,"price_paid_for_green_coffee":null,"currency_of_price_paid_for_green_coffee":null,"roast_level":null,"roast_profile":"Filter","price_options":null,"price":21.0,"weight":100,"currency":"GBP","is_decaf":false,"cupping_score":null,"tasting_notes":[{"note":"Rosewater Florals","primary_category":null},{"note":"Mandarin Sweetness","primary_category":null},{"note":"Saison-Like Vibrancy","primary_category":null},{"note":"Jasmine","primary_category":"Floral"},{"note":"Baking Spice","primary_category":null}],"in_stock":true,"scraped_at":"2025-10-21T22:39:32.082576","scraper_version":"2.0","raw_data":null,"roaster_country_code":"SE","id":47,"clean_url_slug":"multi_stage_washed_chiroso_by_jhoan_vergara_colombia_multi-stage_washed","bean_url_path":"/standout_coffee_ab/multi_stage_washed_chiroso_by_jhoan_vergara_colombia_multi-stage_washed","date_added":null,"price_converted":false},{"name":"PERPETUAL HAPPINESS - Colombia","roaster":"Dark Arts Coffee","url":"https://www.darkartscoffee.co.uk/products/perpetual-happiness-colombia","image_url":"/static/data/roasters/dark_arts_coffee/20250912/perpetual_happiness_-_colombia_natural_181732.png","description":"Colombia, Quindio\nVarietal: Chiroso\nProcess: Natural\nAltitude: 1,400 - 1,450 masl\n\nTropical, Wild Strawberries, Dark Chocolate\nEl Indio is a natural processed specialty coffee grown by around 175 farming families from associations like Asopep and Ascisp in Planadas, Tolima, one of Colombia’s most renowned coffee regions.
