The Process: Meticulous Anaerobic Fermentation

The inherent complexity of the Chiroso varietal is amplified through a carefully controlled fermentation sequence:

Pre‑Fermentation (Aerobic)

A short aerobic phase kickstarts sugar development and enhances aromatic potential.

Anaerobic Fermentation – 36 Hours

The coffee rests in sealed tanks for 36 hours, refining acidity, deepening sweetness and building structure.

Sun‑Drying – Up to 16 Days

The coffee is dried slowly under the sun for up to 16 days, preserving its vibrant citric acidity and sugary sweetness.

This meticulous approach results in a clean, expressive and beautifully balanced filter coffee.
