Producer

Carmen Montoya has been farming coffee for over two decades and is recognized as a pioneer of the Chiroso variety. In 2014, she earned international acclaim by winning the Cup of Excellence, placing Urrao on the world coffee map. Beyond producing her own award-winning coffees, Carmen mentors other farmers, helping elevate the quality and reputation of Chiroso throughout her community.

 

Processing Details

Harvesting & Stabilization
Carmen handpicks only the ripest cherries and sorts them through a flotation process to separate high-quality fruit from any under- or overripe cherries.

Processing & Fermentation
Freshly harvested cherries are placed in open baskets for a 12-hour fermentation in their own pulp. This begins the breakdown of the mucilage surrounding the beans. The cherries are then depulped, and the beans are transferred to stainless steel tanks for a second fermentation lasting 72 hours. This extended fermentation refines the coffee’s sweetness and clarity before it is thoroughly washed to remove any residual mucilage.

Drying
The beans are sun-dried on open patios for eight days, locking in a balance of sweetness, structure, and bright acidity.

 

About the Farm

Los Pinos, located in the highlands of Urrao at 2,100 meters, is where Carmen applies her detail-driven approach to Chiroso cultivation. The altitude and cool mountain climate create the ideal environment for slow cherry maturation, yielding exceptional complexity in the cup.
