Mexico Finca Chelín

Enrique López Aguilar founded the farm in Oaxaca, specifically in Candelaria, in 2012. This farm, originally an abandoned farmhouse that Enrique bought and began to renovate, has gradually become a centre for the cultivation of quality coffee. On the farm, he plants coffee varieties that are not only of high quality, but also tolerant and resistant to rust. Thanks to specific processing and fermentation processes, the farm's coffees have citrus and floral flavours. At the Chelín farm, Enrique focuses on the purity of the coffee's aftertaste, constantly developing new flavours without losing the original and fundamental ones.

Enrique comes from a family that has been growing coffee since 1910. In 2000, after the death of his father, he decided to learn how to grow and harvest coffee. Although he did not drink coffee and was 33 years old at the time, he began to study books on coffee, its history and processing. He became a Q Grader and won many competitions for the best organic coffee and the Cup of Excellence award. In 2012 he decided to leave the farms in Chiapas and start his own farm in Oaxaca. Today, he is known as a great visionary of fine coffee in Mexico.

Why does this coffee belong in our limited edition?

This coffee is truly special to us and rightfully belongs in our limited edition. This year it represented our roastery at the Aeropress Championship in the regional round in Pardubice, which in itself testifies to its exceptional quality. The story of the farm and its producer, Enrique López Aguilar, is as fascinating as the taste of this coffee. Enrique continues to push the boundaries of his craft and inspire other producers of fine coffee. His dedication and innovative approach to cultivation are not only a huge asset to us, but also an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Come and taste this unique coffee that carries not only rich flavours but also a story full of passion and determination.
