Enrique López of Finca Chelín is not afraid to take risks in his relentless pursuit of flavor. When a friend brought him an obscure seed from Indonesia called Solok that Enrique had never heard of, he didn't flinch, planting it in some of the choicest groves on his farm. This tiny lot represents his first harvest of Solok — and the first we know of anywhere in the world outside Indonesia.

PLEASE NOTE: This coffee roasts & ships from Chicago only.

How To Brew

We recommend starting with a 1:18 coffee-to-water ratio, which provides an excellent total extraction level and maximizes flavor pulled out of the bean. For our special selection coffees we recommend a pour over method either on a Chemex, V60 or Kalita Wave.
