Special Farming Practices for Caturra Chiroso
The variety of Caturra Chiroso demands attention to detail, mainly because it’s very susceptible to rust and harsh climate changes. That is why, Elkin Diosa, the head producer, takes excellent care of all the processes of Caturra Chiroso.
Being a washed-process specialty coffee, our Caturra Chiroso is meticulously cultivated through selective harvesting and sustainable farming practices at high altitudes. Grown under shade to promote slow cherry maturation, this variety undergoes short fermentation processes post harvest and slow drying to enhance its vibrant acidity, floral and fruity notes, and clean finish.

Elkin grew up involved in the coffee industry. As a curious person, he broke what was considered to be normal practices and frequently experimented to see how to improve his outcomes.
In 2012 Elkin thought that things could be better in the coffee industry in Caicedo. Therefore, he brought a new business model of specialty coffee into the town with his project Aprokafe.
Due to the location of Caicedo and to continue with the construction of his project, Elkin decides to go to Bogota with a parchment coffee and at that moment, he realizes that this coffee was already in demand in the city, and so he realizes through a process of observation and participation in the market, that this product has a positive trade potential.
