A UNIQUE COFFEE EXPERIENCE, VOL. I

The specialty coffee world continues to evolve every single day. Townie Coffee is just trying to keep up. Introducing "A Unique Coffee Experience" series. Expect something different than the usual coffee you see us offering. Perhaps a new varietal or processing method. Maybe a co-fermented bean. Always from a single lot. We'll purchase a small amount of green for each new volume. When we sell out then it's gone forever (maybe), and we will move on to something new. Snag a box before it's gone! And now for our first offering...

Evelio Lasso cultivates coffee on a high-altitude farm in the remote Nariño region of Colombia, producing a low-intervention, fully washed microlot with extended fermentation. The coffee’s complex flavors, along with its creamy structure and bright acidity, come naturally from the bean itself rather than heavy processing. The variety, called Chiroso, gets its name from its scrappy plant appearance and elongated fruit shape, originally thought to be related to the Caturra variety. However, genetic research by RD2 Vision suggests that Chiroso is actually directly linked to an Ethiopian landrace, not Caturra.
