Colombia, Chiroso EF2

Opened the bag and the berry-forward sweetness hit me right away—this EF2 natural process is doing something special with the Chiroso’s profile. Brewed it as a pour-over and got a juicy, almost wine-like cup that stayed clean down to the last drop. Jairo Arcila’s farm really delivered on those 2024

This Chiroso from Jairo Arcila at Santa Monica is exactly what I look for in a natural process, the EF2 fermentation really comes through in the cup. Brewed it as a pour-over and the body was surprisingly sweet and clean, even at 1500 masl you can feel that altitude brightness. Already ordered a sec

The first cup I brewed from this Chiroso was a total surprise — the natural process really pushes out a sweetness that lingers long after the sip. Jairo Arcila’s farming at that 1400-1500m altitude clearly shows in how clean and balanced the coffee tastes. I’ve already ordered a second bag.
