Origin Story
This coffee gets the answers to the questions what, where, who, and how just right. It is a Geisha, the world's most elegant coffee cultivar. It was grown in a shaded grove at Finca Chelín, high in the Sierra Sur of Oaxaca. It was grown by Enrique López, a celebrated grower who is among the most experimental coffee farmers in our entire Direct Trade network. And it is a hydronatural washed lot: after it was harvested, Enrique began drying it in the fruit as if it were a natural, then took it back to his wet mill to soak it and process it as a standard washed coffee. The combination of the coffee’s Geisha genetics, Finca Chelín’s exceptional terroir, and Enrique’s creative processing make this coffee unlike any other you will taste this year.
