2026 David Berrio; Chiroso, New Season - Colombia

This lot marks the beginning of a new harvest season from Urrao. It is always exciting to receive an exceptionally fresh first-pass harvest from La Casita, the smallest Chiroso garden we work with. In the cup we find ripe tropical fruit, linden flower, with exceptional sweetness and structure.

The 2026 David Berrio release from Sey Coffee highlights the unique potential of the Chiroso varietal grown in the Urrao region of Colombia. Chiroso is a distinct selection often noted for its complex, aromatic profile, which frequently bridges the gap between vibrant acidity and delicate floral characteristics. In this specific lot, producer David Berrio presents a cup defined by ripe tropical fruit and linden flower.

When evaluating coffees with such nuanced profiles, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between fruit-forward sweetness and subtle botanical notes. While tropical profiles in Colombian coffees can vary significantly based on processing methods, the Chiroso varietal is consistently recognized for its ability to express a clean, high-toned clarity. This new season offering serves as a compelling example of the meticulous cultivation practices currently emerging from the Urrao landscape.
