Viktor Pineda's Washed Chiroso from Caicedo, Antioquia is a vivid, citrus-forward filter coffee with a distinctive blood orange intensity, candied lemon peel sweetness, and a lemon balm herbal freshness. Chiroso — a landrace grown in the high-altitude mountains of Caicedo — has become one of the most exciting and distinctive Colombian varietals of recent years, and Viktor's meticulous processing showcases its natural brilliance.
THE PRODUCER
Viktor Pineda comes from Caicedo, a small region near Urrao in Antioquia that spent years isolated by conflict. Today, thanks to specialty coffee, the region is flourishing, and producers like Viktor are at the heart of that transformation. He has been growing and processing coffee for several years, is deeply passionate about refining his techniques, and has recently invested in planting Gesha and Chiroso trees — a meaningful step into the specialty coffee world.
Caicedo's high altitude provides producers with a natural advantage for growing exceptional coffees, and Viktor's farm Finca El Tigre is a standout producer of Chiroso, a dense and well-structured landrace variety particularly suited to the cool, high-altitude conditions of Antioquia.
THE PROCESS
A clean washed protocol that highlights Chiroso's natural citric brightness:
- 🍒 Cherry fermentation — Held in cherry for the initial fermentation phase
- 🔧 Depulping — Mechanical removal of cherry
- 💧 Open-tank fermentation — Extended underwater fermentation to develop structure
- ☀️ Sun-bed drying — Dried on raised sun beds over 2–3 weeks
- ✅ Quality control — Stable 10.6% moisture content at delivery
The result is a beautifully clean, citric washed Chiroso with sparkling acidity and exceptional clarity.
THE CUP
Vivid blood orange intensity leads, followed by sweet candied lemon peel and a refreshing lemon balm herbal note. Delicate florals frame the cup throughout, with a clean, extended finish.
Flavour Notes
