Jairo Arcila

This Natural Chiroso from Jairo Arcila at Santa Monica in Quindío, Colombia, is a vibrant and expressive cup shaped by a two-stage extended fermentation. Pronounced sweetness rolls through in waves of tropical fruit and gummy candy, underpinned by a structured, juicy pineapple acidity. The natural process deepens the fruit intensity while the controlled EF2 fermentation adds a layered complexity that feels both lively and defined. It is a versatile, fruit-forward coffee that holds its character across brew methods.

The coffee should rest for minimum 21 days after roasting and be used within 4 months at the latest. The coffee reaches its maximum complexity within a certain period of time. In our experience we found that between 4-8 weeks the coffees are reaching their peak.

Omnirost (or "omni-roast") is a roasting approach where coffee beans are roasted to a versatile light-medium level that works well across multiple brewing methods. Rather than optimizing for a single preparation style, omnirost aims to deliver balanced flavor that shines whether the coffee is brewed as espresso, pour-over, French press, or other methods.

About the producer / farm

Über den Produzenten / die Farm

Jairo Arcila / Santa Monica

Santa Monica is a family-managed farm in Quindío, Colombia, led by Jairo Arcila — a producer recognized for advancing experimental processing while maintaining consistency and quality. His approach combines generational knowledge with modern techniques, allowing distinctive varieties to fully express their potential. The farm's elevation, cool temperatures, and good airflow create ideal conditions for slow fruit development and precise post-harvest work.

About the varietal

Über die Sorte

Chiroso

is an elongated, Typica-like variety found primarily in Colombia's Antioquia and Eje Cafetero regions. It is closely associated with vibrant tropical fruit notes and a naturally expressive aromatic profile. While its exact genetic origin is still debated, Chiroso is prized in specialty coffee for its ability to deliver intensity and elegance in equal measure — particularly when grown at altitude and processed with care.

About the process

Über die Aufbereitung

EF2

The EF2 (Extended Fermentation, Stage Two) Natural process begins with 24 hours of dry aerobic fermentation, where natural microorganisms begin breaking down sugars in the mucilage. The cherries are then sealed in GrainPro bags for 50 hours of anaerobic fermentation, held below 22°C for precision and control. After fermentation, the coffee is dried on raised beds for 18 days. This two-stage approach amplifies tropical fruit intensity while preserving the variety's inherent character.

About the roast

Omniroast

Most coffees are roasted with a single brewing method in mind — lighter for filter, darker for espresso. An Omniroast throws out that rulebook.

Each of our Omniroast coffees is developed to a single, carefully crafted profile that lets the coffee shine however you choose to brew it — whether that's a morning pour-over, a pulled espresso shot, or anything in between. The goal is balance: enough brightness and complexity to sing in a filter brew, enough body and sweetness to hold up as an espresso.

It's all about the coffee

At Sandbox, we embrace innovation and challenge the status quo. That’s why we don’t differentiate between espresso and filter roasts, and we use only light roasts to bring out the best in our coffee. We encourage you to explore and experiment with our coffees—whether you prefer filter, espresso, or flat white, make it your own. Be curious, enjoy the journey and let’s learn from each other!
