ABOUT JHON ALEXANDER BERMUDEZ

JHON ALEXANDER, HIS WIFE, AND THEIR TWO YOUNG DAUGHTERS WORK TOGETHER TO SUSTAIN THEIR FARM. URRAO HAS LONG BEEN ONE OF COLOMBIA’S MOST EXCITING AND UNDERREPRESENTED COFFEE-GROWING REGIONS. THOUGH REMOTE AND HISTORICALLY CHALLENGING TO WORK IN, IT OFFERS EXTRAORDINARY POTENTIAL FOR CUP QUALITY THROUGH ITS EXTREME ELEVATIONS AND THE ETHIOPIAN VARIETY KNOWN COLLOQUIALLY AS CHIROSO. WE HAVE SPENT YEARS DEVELOPING A PROJECT IN URRAO AND ARE BEGINNING TO SEE THAT WORK TAKE SHAPE.
ABOUT CHIROSO

CHIROSO IS A NEW VARIETY BEING GROWN PRIMARILY IN THE REGION OF ANTIOQUIA, COLOMBIA. WE ONLY STARTED HEARING ABOUT ITS CULTIVATION A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, BUT BECAUSE OF ITS CUP QUALITY POTENTIAL, IT IS BEGINNING TO SPREAD. THE VARIETY HAS BEEN GENETICALLY IDENTIFIED AS AN ETHIOPIAN LANDRACE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE CANNOT GET ANY MORE SPECIFIC THAN THAT AT THIS TIME. WE HAVE BEEN WORKING VERY HARD BUILDING A BUYING PROGRAM IN THE REGION OF URRAO SPECIFICALLY AROUND THE VARIETY OF CHIROSO. WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHERE OR HOW THIS VARIETY CAME TO BE CULTIVATED IN THIS PARTICULAR REGION, BUT ITS CUP QUALITY IS EXTRAORDINARY. WE WILL BE WORKING WITH OUR EXPORTING PARTNER, THE COFFEE QUEST, TO CONTINUE DEVELOPING THIS PROJECT, AND HOPE THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO BRING YOU MORE OF THIS SPECIAL COFFEE FROM THIS SPECIAL REGION YEAR AFTER YEAR.
