Caturra Chiroso Floral · Tangerine · Lemongrass

Caturra Chiroso is a rare and highly sought after specialty coffee variety, recognized for its vibrant flavor profile with floral and fruity notes and a sweet, clean finish. It is a natural mutation of the Bourbon variety, which contributes to its refined structure, delicate aromatics, and distinctive cup quality.

This coffee is carefully cultivated in Caicedo, where local farmers apply attentive farming and processing practices to ensure consistency and excellence. Grown at high altitudes and under shade, the cherries mature slowly, allowing complex flavors to develop. The washed process includes selective harvesting, short fermentation, and slow drying to preserve clarity, brightness, and balance in the cup.

The people and farmers of Caicedo play a central role in the character of this coffee. Producers of different scales contribute to the final lot, creating a strong connection between community, origin, and quality while maintaining traceability and shared standards.

Caturra Chiroso performs best with light roasting to highlight its delicate floral characteristics and is especially well suited for filter brewing methods. While challenging to grow due to its sensitivity to rust and climate conditions, its exceptional flavor profile and growing demand make it one of the most distinctive varieties in the specialty coffee world.
