Urrao has long been one of Colombia's most exciting and underrepresented coffee-growing regions — remote and historically challenging to work in, but offering extraordinary potential through its extreme elevations and the rare Ethiopian variety known colloquially as Chiroso. SEY have spent years developing a buying programme in Urrao and are beginning to see that work take shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 1,930 MASL, Finca La Estrella sits at an altitude that slows cherry development and concentrates the sugars and aromatics that make Chiroso so compelling. The Bermudez family's dedication to their farm is evident in every cup — a coffee that rewards attention with extraordinary complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE PROCESS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Washed process at Finca La Estrella involves:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🍒 \u003cstrong\u003eHand-picking\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cherries selected at peak ripeness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e💧 \u003cstrong\u003eFloating\u003c\/strong\u003e — Immersion to remove defects before pulping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🔧 \u003cstrong\u003eDe-pulping\u003c\/strong\u003e — Skin removed on the day of harvest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🧪 \u003cstrong\u003eUnderwater fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e — Fermented submerged for eight days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e💧 \u003cstrong\u003eWashing\u003c\/strong\u003e — Thoroughly washed to remove fermentation by-products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e☀️ \u003cstrong\u003eRaised-bed drying\u003c\/strong\u003e — Dried until moisture content reaches 10.5%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extended eight-day underwater fermentation is the defining step here — a slow, controlled process that builds the remarkable complexity and vivid brightness that sets this Chiroso apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE CUP\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA singular Chiroso from one of Antioquia's most promising producers — electrifyingly bright and deeply complex, with a profile that evokes Ethiopian origins whilst remaining wholly of its Colombian terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavour Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🍍 \u003cstrong\u003eRipe Pineapple\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✨ \u003cstrong\u003eVery Bright\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌿 \u003cstrong\u003eHops\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e","brand":"SEY Coffee","offers":[{"title":"5 May","offer_id":57825106690422,"sku":"SEY-JBERMUDEZ-ESTRELLA-W-CHIROSO-MAY05","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"May 11th","offer_id":57882603192694,"sku":"SEY-JBERMUDEZ-ESTRELLA-W-CHIROSO-MAY11","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/9152\/5021\/files\/2026JhonAlexanderBermudez_FincaLaEstrella-Colombia_2560x_048d7dfe-c5b8-475d-9ea8-b89248a6037f.png?v=1778336974","url":"https:\/\/sigmacoffee.co.uk\/products\/sey-jhon-alexander-bermudez-finca-la-estrella-washed-chiroso-colombia","provider":"Sigma Coffee UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
