From The Coffee Quest:
“What happens when multiple farmers produce excellent Micro-Lots, but not enough to make up for an entire lot? The answer is: Las Perlitas. In Spanish, Las Perlitas means “Little Pearls” and throughout the harvest, it’s quite common that small-holders in Colombia produce lots that aren’t large enough to be exported on their own. However, the quality is often just as good (or better) than samples received from larger lots. As such, we buy all coffees, regardless of size and create a larger, export-size lot based on cup score and profile.”
This coffee is the chiroso variety which has become more popular in recent years. It was originally thought to have been a mutation of caturra but more recent genetic testing suggests it comes from an Ethiopian landrace variety. It often presents with lovely and vibrant acidity with a flavour profile reminiscent of pink bourbons or coffee from Kenya. Needless to say, a popular one with many of our team members.
