Chiroso

Chiroso is an increasingly celebrated Colombian variety, primarily found in the Urrao municipality of Antioquia. Its exact genetic origin is debated, with some suggesting Ethiopian landrace roots and others linking it to Typica heritage. Chiroso has gained rapid fame in specialty circles for its extraordinary aromatic complexity, featuring intense floral notes, tropical fruit sweetness, and a sparkling, juicy acidity reminiscent of Geisha.

Susceptible to coffee leaf rust and coffee berry disease; no resistance traits documented regardless of lineage. Colombian producers manage disease through altitude planting above 1,600 m and selective fungicide applications.
