Colombia Las Perlitas Chiroso

Highlights

“Las Perlitas means 'little pearls': smallholder lots in Colombia that are too small to export on their own but often cup as well as, or better than, larger lots. At the mill they are combined through 'Cochadas', where a new picking is depulped into the previous days' coffee every 4-7 days and homogenised, then washed on the final day for a clean profile. Chiroso, a variety now genetically linked to Ethiopian landraces, brings the stone fruit and tropical character on top.”
