A softer, complex tropical profile with melon and lime. In the cup: melon and lime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PRODUCER\u003c\/strong\u003e William Ortiz is a newer addition to the ongoing exploration of Huila, with this lot only the second ever purchased from him. Producing an exceptional lot once is challenging — doing so consecutively even more so. William currently grows Caturra, Pink Bourbon, and Chiroso, and this harvest saw both his Pink Bourbon and Chiroso selections purchased. A visit to William and his farm is planned for the next trip to Huila.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChiroso is a relatively new variety, primarily grown in Antioquia, Colombia, only recently gaining attention for its cup quality potential and beginning to spread. It's been genetically identified as an Ethiopian Landrace, though its precise path to cultivation in this particular region remains unknown. This lot is part of an ongoing buying programme in Urrao developed with exporting partner The Coffee Quest — its precise path to cultivation in this particular region remains unknown, but its cup quality is extraordinary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e Cherries are hand-picked at peak ripeness, floated to further remove defects, and held in-cherry overnight. After de-pulping, the coffee dry-ferments for 36 hours, is washed, and dries on raised beds until moisture content reaches 10.5%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe overnight in-cherry hold ahead of de-pulping is the defining step — it's what builds the softer, more complex tropical profile that carries this final-pass cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft and complex — a gentle tropical melon sweetness runs throughout, with a bright lime finish. A fitting close to an exceptional first year working with William's coffees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e 🍈 Melon 🍋 Lime\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SEY Coffee","offers":[{"title":"Filter \/ 250g \/ August 18th","offer_id":58491487912310,"sku":"SEY-CABANA-WILLIAM-ORTIZ-CHIROSO-WASHED-FIL-250G-AUG18","price":22.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9152\/5021\/files\/2026WilliamOrtiz_LaCabana_EndOfSeason-Colombia_2560x_png.webp?v=1787153855","url":"https:\/\/sigmacoffee.co.uk\/products\/sey-coffee-william-ortiz-la-cabana-chiroso-washed-colombia","provider":"Sigma Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
