The producer

Doña Carmen has farmed coffee in Urrao for over 23 years.

Doña Carmen Montoya learned to farm coffee from her parents, who instilled in her a love for it and a passion for the work. In 2014 she won the Cup of Excellence with her Chiroso, and she now leads her community in improving farming practices.

Her goal is worldwide recognition for Urrao's Chiroso. The lot is grown at 2,000 MASL on her farm Bella Vista: ripe cherries hand-harvested, float-sorted, fermented 12 hours in open containers with the pulp, depulped, then fermented 72 hours in stainless steel.

She won the Cup of Excellence in 2014 with her Chiroso.
