ABOUT

Chorro Alto sits at 1600 – 1800 MASL in Huila — 10 hectares run by Luz Angela Rojas alongside her family. Luz Angela spent years in healthcare administration before Covid pushed her work remote, bringing her back to the farm. The systems approach she developed in audit management translated directly to coffee production — tight controls on agricultural practices, precise lot separation protocols.

 

Chiroso came to Colombia as an Ethiopian landrace. The variety emerged through phenotype selection — farmers noticed distinct cherry shapes in their fields and isolated the seeds. The variety is known for heavy florals and pronounced juicy character.

To process this lot, cherries were floated to remove green, overripe, and dry cherry. It was then oxidized in food-grade plastic drums for 48 hours and fermented in water for another 48 hours at temperatures below 25°C. After fermentation, the coffee was dried for 72 hours at 38°C. Finally, it was stabilized and prepared for transport in GrainPro-type bags.
