Santa Barbara Coffee Nursery

Objective: Introduce a new coffee variety to the Santa Barbara region that delivers high cup quality and is easy for producers to harvest.

• The Chiroso variety, a relatively new coffee with genetic roots in Ethiopia, is named for its distinctive elongated shape and offers a unique profile. 

• Known for its complex, herbal, and silky flavors, Chiroso stands out for its high yield—making it especially beneficial for producers. 

• Higher yields combined with excellent cup quality mean more profitable returns for coffee farmers.
