INTRO
Jorge Rojas, a "menu superstar" for Prodigal, brings another gem with this just-landed Chiroso: a bit more "out there," a fun, fruit punch delight. Big blackberry and mandarin orange flavours with a ripe, saturated quality. It's a bit process-forward, but they love it. In the cup: blackberry, mandarin orange, and a ripe, saturated character.
THE PRODUCER
Jorge grew this Chiroso at Finca El Jardín in Tolima, one of his four farms. In reaction to the increasing complexity of novel processing techniques, he opted for a more traditional method with this lot. It was milled by Desarrolladores de Café and rushed to Prodigal to preserve quality.
THE PROCESS
The Washed process for this lot involves:
💧 Floating — floated to remove defects
🌱 Pulping — pulped immediately
⏱️ Dry fermentation — fermented without water for just 16 hours
🚿 Washing — fully washed
☀️ Marquesina drying — moved to marquesinas (covered drying structures), with regular rotation for even drying
The short 16-hour dry fermentation, followed by a full wash, is the defining step. It gives the lot its saturated fruit character without the heaviness of a longer ferment.
THE CUP
Fruit-punch bright and saturated: big blackberry and mandarin orange flavours with a ripe, juicy quality.
