Intro

This Hyper Limited release highlights the expressive potential of Chiroso when paired with careful natural processing. Produced in very small quantities by Cristian Zúñiga, this lot is vibrant, elegant, and unmistakably celebratory - layering ripe fruit intensity with a sparkling, wine-like lift.

The Producer

Cristian Zúñiga is part of a new generation of Colombian producers pushing quality forward through intentional farming and processing choices. Working with Chiroso—a variety prized for its aromatic clarity and structure—Cristian focuses on maximizing fruit expression while maintaining balance and cleanliness. His lots are small, deliberate, and driven by a clear sensory goal, making them a natural fit for the Hyper Limited series.

The Process

This coffee is processed as a natural, with cherries harvested at peak ripeness and dried whole to preserve sugars and intensify fruit character. Careful drying management ensures clarity rather than heaviness, allowing the varietal character of Chiroso to remain bright and defined while still delivering depth and sweetness.

In the Cup

The cup opens with juicy cherry and ripe blueberry, immediately expressive and fruit-forward. As it develops, a sparkling, champagne-like acidity emerges—lifting the sweetness and adding an effervescent, celebratory quality. The texture is silky, the balance refined, and the finish clean and lively, making this a standout natural that feels luxurious without excess.

What is the roast recency?

Native recommend brewing with beans that are at least two to three weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 6-9 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12 - should we have any left in stock!). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.

Filter or Espresso? Both!

All of Native's coffees are profiled to be as fantastic in filter as they are in espresso.
