Roaster notes

Colombia — 'Apple Pie' Finca Buesaquillo Chiroso (Natural)

Tastes Like — 🍎 Stewed Apples • 🍋 Passionfruit • 🍪 Biscuit & Yoghurt

DETAILS

Producer: Cesar Buesaquillo Farm: Finca Buesaquillo Region: Inzá, Cauca, Colombia Varietal: Chiroso Process: Natural Altitude: 1,900–2,100 MASL Size: 250g

INTRO

A natural Chiroso from high in the Cauca highlands that delivers exactly what the name promises. Stewed apples lead with warming, dessert-like sweetness, passionfruit lifts the middle, and a creamy biscuit-and-yoghurt finish ties everything together. Comforting and complex in equal measure.

THE PRODUCER

Cesar Buesaquillo farms Chiroso in the mountains of Inzá, Cauca — one of Colombia's most elevated and underexplored growing regions. At up to 2,100 MASL, the altitude slows cherry development considerably, concentrating sugars and building the depth that Chiroso is increasingly celebrated for. Cherries are picked at peak ripeness — glossy and dark — then sun-dried slowly on raised beds, locking in the syrupy fruit sweetness that defines this lot. Cofinet work directly with Cesar to keep the lot traceable and the farm fairly rewarded.

THE PROCESS

Natural process. Ripe cherries are sun-dried whole on raised beds, allowing the fruit to slowly break down around the seed and drive the warm, baked-fruit sweetness that defines this coffee.

THE CUP

A coffee that earns its name — warm, sweet, and deeply satisfying, with just enough passionfruit brightness to keep it from ever feeling heavy. One of the most immediately loveable naturals we've come across.

About this variety

Coffees reported as Chiroso are often associated with an aromatic, tea-like and bright cup. Florals, citrus and stone fruit are useful reference points in carefully produced lots.

Why this one is different
  • Colombia
  • Inza, Cauca
  • 1900-2100 masl
  • Natural

Colombian Chiroso is often bright and aromatic, bringing white flowers, citrus, red fruit and a tea-like or gently herbal finish. The reviewed washed lots from high elevations are especially clear and lively, while natural processing can make the fruit rounder and more expressive. Look to the listed process for the clearest clue to this bag.

Natural processing often brings a rounder, fruit-led expression, which can make the same variety feel quite different from a washed lot.

A little background

Chiroso gained attention through producers around Urrao in Antioquia and is now seen in other Colombian regions. The reviewed coffees still lean strongly towards high-grown, carefully washed lots, where florals and vivid fruit stay sharply defined.

Identification note Chiroso is a Colombian producer name with strong genetic evidence linking tested material to Ethiopian landraces. Individual farm plantings are not assumed to be genetically identical unless their traceability confirms it.

Classification Colombian regional name

Technical lineage Published genetic research places tested Chiroso in an Ethiopian-only landrace cluster, rather than supporting the older idea that it was simply a Caturra mutation.
