Las Perlitas, meaning “Little Pearls” in Spanish, reflects a common harvest practice in Colombia, where smallholders often produce lots too small to export individually—yet with quality that rivals or surpasses larger ones. All coffees are purchased regardless of size, combining them into an export-ready lot based on cup score and profile. The result, Las Perlitas Chiroso, a celebrated coffee composed of small Chiroso lots from producers in Urrao, Antioquia. It’s a clear example of how collaborative sourcing helps smallholder farmers earn fair payment for their exceptional work.
