Jairo Arcila Chiroso

About this coffee

An exceptionally expressive natural Chiroso from Jairo Arcila, delivering a complex, flavourful cup of Clementine, Honeydew melon, Eucalyptus, Vanilla and Rosemary.

Jairo Arcila, a third-generation coffee grower from Quindío, Colombia, began his journey in 1987 with Finca La Esmeralda and his first Caturra lot. Balancing a full-time role as a mill manager with his passion for coffee, he honed his craft for over 40 years until retiring in 2019. His dedication led to the expansion of his holdings by five additional farms and created essential job opportunities during the harvest season.

Working alongside his wife, Luz Helena Salazar, and their two sons, Carlos and Felipe—who are now co-founders of Cofinet and specialists in specialty coffee—Jairo has elevated his coffee production to new heights. With guidance from his sons, he has refined the picking, sorting, and processing techniques across his farms, now producing exotic varieties like Chiroso, Pink Bourbon, Java, Papayo, and Gesha. Beyond coffee, Jairo's farms yield an array of other crops, and his day starts with a hearty breakfast complemented by his own exceptional brew, all while cherishing time with his family.
