The unique Caturra Chiroso variety is naturally occurring on the farm with lanceolate leaves and distinct "frizzy" edges.

During processing, the beans undergo a period of controlled oxygen exposure. Then, the depulping stage removes their cherry coats, before a 48-hour fermentation for enhanced flavour. Following the fermentation, a rinse is followed by the sun-drying phase on raised beds. This meticulous process results in a delightful coffee boasting floral notes and tropical fruits.
