ABOUT THIS COFFEE AND PRODUCER

From Unblended:

This coffee is the result of a budding movement in Caicedo, where a group of young producers began their journey into specialty coffee just five years ago. It all started when Danilo Flórez, a producer we closely work with, generously shared Chiroso seeds with them—an invitation to explore differentiated varieties and the world of specialty coffee. With the mentorship of Elkin Diosa, they began learning about processing, and this lot marks one of their very first harvests. It’s a washed coffee, fermented in cherry for 48 hours.

A bit more about the Unblended project:

Lucas and Sofia are the co-founders of Unblended Coffee. Prior to Unblended, Lucas was running a digital marketing company in the US. During that period of his life he decided that he wanted to do an MBA and that’s where all started. Unblended was his 2019 MBA graduation project - it was originally a digital marketing tool for coffee shops that used block-chain to guarantee transparency. His thesis was that if the producers were involved in the marketing of their own coffees, sales would grow at the e-commerce and retail level. While the concept has changed, the idea is still there. In 2021, Sofia graduated as a designer and after dreading corporate jobs for a year she joined the team full time.
She joined the team to nourish and cultivate the relationship that today are the cornerstone to our business. Since then, they have been trying to solve the question, how can a producer’s name become a brand? In that journey they found that younger coffee farmers were better partners, and then it clicked. In the pursuit of trying to make it work, they found their life’s calling.

WHY WE SELECTED THIS COFFEE

We’re super excited to share our first release in collaboration with the Unblended coffee project—an initiative we’ve admired for its focus on getting newer generations into coffee production and building real paths toward sustainability in the industry.

This lot is part of their Young Producers project, and we instantly fell in love with it. It’s a Chiroso that’s bursting with bright citrus—somewhere between oranges and limes—and finishes with a crisp, mouthwatering red apple sweetness that’s super well defined and refreshing.

There’s also a subtle, eucalyptus-like herbal floral note that adds just the right touch of complexity, rounding it all out into something that’s pleasant, balanced, and easy to drink every day.

A fresh take on Chiroso, from a new generation of producers we’re proud to support.
