Juice Box

A washed Chiroso from the Urrao region, grown by a group of producers there. Chiroso is a Colombian name for a variety that traces back to Ethiopia, and it shows in the cup: this drinks closer to a washed Ethiopian than to most Colombians, with honey, lemon peel, and rhubarb running through it. One of the washed coffees we've come back to most this year. This used to be called Honeymoon. We renamed it once Honey Burst joined the lineup, since two honey names at once was asking for trouble on the packing and dispatching floor.

Juice Box from Dayglow sources this washed Colombian coffee from a group of producers in Urrao. The Chiroso varietal displays an intriguing balance of bright citrus and subtle stone fruit character—the roaster identifies honey and lemon peel alongside rhubarb's distinctive tart edge. This combination suggests the washed process has preserved clarity while allowing the varietal's natural complexity to emerge. The profile sits in an approachable middle ground: sweet enough to ground the acidity, yet vibrant enough to reward close attention.
