The ground
A growing town in southern Huila, on the slopes above the Magdalena river. Warm days, cool nights and altitude around 1,500 to 1,900 m.
The variety
Urrao sits high in Antioquia, where farmers grew a long-beaned tree they called Caturra Chiroso. It was no Caturra. Genetics places it among Ethiopian lines that reached Colombian soil and stayed.
The trade learned its name in 2020, when a washed Chiroso took the national Cup of Excellence. A coffee inseparable from its place.
