    César Buesaquillo - Chiroso [natural] — Colombia

    César’s parents, who worked as coffee pickers & farm mangers purchased the 6-hectare coffee farm La Esmeralda 20 years ago. Now run by César, his wife Maria & son Kevin. The family has worked hard, transitioning from a traditional farm producing commercial grade coffee to farm producing Geisha & Pink Bourbon, along with this Chiroso cultivar.

    Chiroso was discovered on a farm in Betulia, Colombia. Farmers noticed this coffee’s long cherries and nicknamed it ‘Chiroso’, a local slang meaning stretched-out. Initially it was thought to be a mutation of Caturra, but after winning the 2014 Colombian Cup Of Excellence competition DNA testing revealed it to be an Ethiopian Landrace cultivar.
