At first, others called it a Caturra, but Edgar knew it was different… That variety was Chiroso. He recognized its potential before it had a name, and from there, the rest is history. His discovery, alongside the work of producer Carmen Cecilia Montoya (Doña Carmen), helped put Urrao and Chiroso on the specialty coffee map.
