David Berrio is a second-generation producer who manages the remote 1.5-hectare La Casita farm in Urrao with his family.
SEY lists peach, melon, red tea and floral notes for this July 2026 washed Chiroso harvest.
This release documents a remote high-elevation Chiroso lot and its unusual cochadas workflow in detail. The current product page has stale availability messaging, so availability is not inferred.
WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?
Cherries were hand-picked at peak ripeness and floated.
The coffee was held in cherry for 24 hours, then moved by horse and car from the remote farm.
After depulping, the coffee fermented underwater in stainless steel tanks using the cochadas method. Coffee was added through the week and washed together on Monday.
SEY reports drying until the coffee reached 10.5 percent moisture, but does not name the physical drying structure on this page.
No fruit, spice or other flavoring ingredient is disclosed.
The page does not describe a co-ferment or flavored process.
The staged cochadas method is the key processing detail for this lot. It should not be simplified into a fixed five-day fermentation because the page describes coffee being added through the week.
SEY lists peach, melon, red tea and floral character.

In the database. Not tasted. Not scored.
This coffee is in our database because we can reliably document it — but we haven't tasted and scored it yet, and we never publish a score we haven't earned.
Outside reviews and internet discussion — is kept clearly separate from our own review. When we taste it, our full review appears here.
What the internet is saying about this coffee
Our research pipeline scanned public reviews, videos, forums and discussions for this coffee (last pass 2026-10-26) and found no independent review of this exact release that meets our verification standards. When qualifying sources appear, they'll be published here.
Exact retailer and catalog pages were used only to verify release identity, price and package. Cherrybook's evidence-quality index, generic roaster sentiment and non-scored catalog listings were excluded from public sentiment.

Other roasters, same producer.
These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
