This Chiroso variety coffee is produced by Jairo Arcila in Armenia, Quindio, Colombia. Processed using the natural method, this rare and exotic varietal is known for its sweet, complex profile and heavy, herbaceous body. The cup features vibrant notes of citrus, mango, and a lingering maple syrup finish. Roasted fairly light, this coffee is versatile and suitable for various brewing methods, including espresso.
Jolly Bean Roastery operates from an old mill in Sowerby Bridge, in West Yorkshire's Calder Valley. It started on a 1kg roaster, graduated to a 2.5kg machine nicknamed Tony that the team drove from Portsmouth wedged into a hatchback, and now runs a 10kg Besca. They source ethically and work to keep overheads low enough to make rare and experimental coffees accessible, including lots processed with anaerobic and maceration techniques from Colombian producers. The roastery also runs Giddy Arts, a sister café in Saltaire opposite Salts Mill, which doubles as a general store with a plastic free refill section where customers can bring old coffee bags for freshly roasted beans.
