Finca El Proceso (chiroso) - Colombia, Prodigal | 250

apricot • meyer lemon • plump

Jorge Rojas' legacy grows! 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. And congratulations to Stiven on this delicious coffee.
