Why some details are blank
  • harvestThe reviewed release pages identify the 2025 single-origin presentation but do not publish a harvest date.
  • fermentation vesselPartners documents mixed extended fermentation times but does not name the fermentation vessel or atmosphere.
  • variety lineageThe official source says evidence suggests an Ethiopian-landrace relationship; the underlying genetic study is not published on the reviewed pages, so the lineage is not stated as confirmed.

From the producer

Fray David Moreno Montoya grows about 2,200 Chiroso plants at Finca El Rosal in La Despensa, near the Pavón and Penderisco rivers.

From the roaster

Partners Coffee describes this as its second year buying David's coffee and the first time presenting it as a single-origin release.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

The lot combines Urrao-grown Chiroso with a documented mixed extended fermentation. Its farm record is kept separate from other Urrao farms named Finca El Rosal because the producer and community differ.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Harvest and source

Chiroso was grown by Fray David Moreno Montoya at Finca El Rosal in La Despensa, Urrao, at 1,900 meters.

02
Mixed extended fermentation

Cherry from multiple picking days was combined, with portions fermented for periods such as 72 and 48 hours.

03
Washing and drying

After fermentation, the coffee was washed and dried on covered parabolic tables for about two weeks.

04
Roasting

Partners Coffee roasted the release to a light profile.

What was added?

No added fruit, spices, flavorings, or inoculated culture is disclosed.

What wasn't added?

The process is described as extended fermentation, not a co-ferment or flavored coffee.

Why it matters

The mixed extended fermentation may intensify fruit character while washing and controlled covered drying support clarity.

What you might taste

Watermelon, cane sugar, and lime, with possible cherry and mango accents.
