A washed Chiroso from the Urrao region, grown by a group of producers there. Chiroso is a Colombian name for a variety that traces back to Ethiopia, and it shows in the cup: this drinks closer to a washed Ethiopian than to most Colombians, with honey, lemon peel, and rhubarb running through it. One of the washed coffees we’ve come back to most this year. This used to be called Honeymoon. We renamed it once Honey Burst joined the lineup, since two honey names at once was asking for trouble on the packing and dispatching floor.
Las Perlitas is processed in cochadas: every four to seven days a new picking is depulped onto the previous days’ coffee, homogenised, then washed together on the final day before drying. Most of the lot ferments in water, which keeps the profile clean and free of the excess funk other methods can bring. Chiroso is a newer variety grown mainly in Antioquia, Colombia. It’s only been on the radar a few years, but it’s catching on fast for its quality. Genetically it’s been identified as an Ethiopian landrace, though no one can place it more precisely than that yet.

Dak Coffee Roasters
Dak Coffee Roasters was founded by Louis-Philippe Boucher & Veronique Lagarde in 2019. Originally from Montreal, Canada, the duo roamed around Europe for more than 8 years before settling in Amsterdam where they founded the roastery. Dak means “roof” in Danish, and it was a moment in 2019 when Louis-Philippe was sitting on the roof of his home, drinking coffee when he decided to start his own roastery. Dak now consists of a small team of six.
“Coffee has always been part of our lives, although our love for specialty coffee has grown exponentially in the past few years. After working many years respectively in Finance & Marketing, we decided to pursue our dream, opening a coffee roastery. Dak was born from true passion for coffee and the desire to embark on a journey of endless discoveries.
“We select our coffees based on their unique tasting profiles and of course that are 100% fully traceable. We partner with importers that share our values and we roast each one of our coffees carefully to bring the best flavours they have to offer.”
—Louis-Philippe & Veronique
