What Monogram Roasters says about this coffee

Delicate and bright grapefruit and hibiscus aromas. Medium-body with blueberry and honey flavours.

In Spanish, Las Perlitas means “Little Pearls” and throughout the harvest, it’s quite common that small-holders in Colombia produce lots that aren’t large enough to be exported on their own. These lots are classified based on score and cup profile.

The lot we have sourced from Las Perlitas this year is Chiroso; a celebrated washed coffee of various small Chiroso lots from producers in Urrao, Antioquia, whose farms range in elevation from 1,900 to 2,300 m.a.s.l. Las Perlitas is a clear example of how smallholder farmers receive a fair payment for their quality. The selection procedure is very strict, and uses the same standard with each micro-lot or constructed lot. Every small lot is individually cupped various times before being included within the main lot. In addition to cup quality, each coffee must meet strict physical requirements, based on guidelines for moisture content and water activity.

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
