About the farmer:

Dionel Chilito farms in the mountains of Huila, Colombia, where he and his family have built a reputation on meticulous picking and relentless attention to the cup. Their standard is simple and uncompromising: harvest only what's perfect. The result is a coffee defined by jasmine and rose — and by a family that treats every lot as a statement of who they are.

About the coffee:

Cherries are hand-picked at optimal ripeness, then rested whole in a hopper for 24 hours before depulping. A second 40-hour fermentation in tanks follows, after which the coffee is washed and moved to raised African beds for 10–15 days of slow, even sun-drying to a final moisture of 10.5–11.5%. The long, controlled fermentation is what builds the florals without tipping into funk.


Roaster's notes:

We've known about Dionel Chilito and his coffees for about two years. We never got to purchase due to inventory timing, but we are finally making it happen. I'm super excited to offer this lot to you all.

Another one of those spice-forward washed geshas with sharp peaks of acidity layered within a very long and textured brew.

Complex and well-rounded, an easy crowd-pleaser.

Brewing Notes:

V60

Brew recipe:

0. 18g grounds a tad coarser

Rest notes:

I'd leave it alone for 3+ weeks if possible.
