Santa Monica, Chiroso, Natural, Colombia

the santa monica chiroso from homeground coffee roasters is a colombian natural processed coffee. chiroso is a slender, elongated variety grown in colombia, and the natural process means the coffee cherry dries whole around the seed, which typically pushes fruit-forward character into the cup. here that shows up as red apple, clean and defined rather than jammy. because natural coffees carry more sweetness and body, filter methods like a v60 or clever dripper tend to let those fruit qualities come through clearly without muddying the cup. it suits anyone who enjoys fruit-led coffees with a recognisable, specific character.
