This coffee is part of our Chelín Gesha Series — four expressions of the same variety, grown by Enrique López at Finca Chelín in Oaxaca. This release is the Hydronatural Washed expression, combining fruit intensity with clarity and structure through its unique processing approach. The process begins by partially drying ripe cherries to concentrate sugars and acidity before rehydrating, depulping, and washing them.
