Balancing a full-time role as a mill manager with his passion for coffee, he honed his craft for over 40 years until retiring in 2019. His dedication led to the expansion of his holdings by five additional farms and created essential job opportunities during the harvest season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFamily and Coffee Legacy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorking alongside his wife, Luz Helena Salazar, and their two sons, Carlos and Felipe—who are now co-founders of Cofinet and specialists in specialty coffee—Jairo has elevated his coffee production to new heights. With guidance from his sons, he has refined the picking, sorting, and processing techniques across his farms, now producing exotic varieties like Chiroso, Pink Bourbon, Java, Papayo, and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.harmonycoffee.co.uk\/blogs\/coffee-varieties\/what-is-gesha-coffee\" title=\"Link to Gesha coffee\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eGesha\u003c\/a\u003e.

The region is home to many world-leading coffee farms that are capable of producing unbelievably high-quality coffees, thanks in no small part to its year-round stable temperatures, which result in slow maturation of the coffee cherries, producing coffees with pronounced sweetness, high clarity and vibrant acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe region itself is located within the UNESCO world heritage site, as part of the coffee cultural landscape, yet has also become a world leading hub of innovation, with many producers taking on experimental processing and advanced fermentation techniques to broaden their repertoire, pushing the boundaries of coffee cultivation and output quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is the Chiroso Coffee Variety?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChiroso is a remarkably rare coffee variety from the Arabica species that has gained recognition for its high cup quality, complex and intense florals, and delicate, silky body. Originally, it was thought that the variety delineated from Bourbon, or Caturra - but more recent research indicates that Chiroso is more likely to have derived from Ethiopian Landraces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUp until recently, Chiroso has been grown almost exclusively in Colombia, in regions such as Antioquia and Caldas, but as the popularity of the variety has grown, so too has its prevalence in other regions of Colombia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChiroso's Unique Flavour Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChiroso is known for producing exceptionally expressive and high-clarity coffees, with pronounced florality, citrusy acidity, a unique herbaceousness, big sweetness and a silky body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis has led many to compare the variety to \u003ca title=\"Link to Gesha coffee variety\" href=\"https:\/\/www.harmonycoffee.co.uk\/blogs\/coffee-varieties\/what-is-gesha-coffee\"\u003eGesha\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Link to Sidra Coffee Variety\" href=\"https:\/\/www.harmonycoffee.co.uk\/blogs\/coffee-varieties\/what-is-sidra-coffee\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSidra\u003c\/a\u003e, noting the similarities between these varieties.\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product__description rte\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Brew This Coffee\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDial in with accuracy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this coffee is expressive and fruit-forward, accurate \u003cem\u003edose\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eyield\u003c\/em\u003e help you hit the sweet spot.
