This lot is naturally processed, where the coffee is dried whole in the cherry after harvest. With the fruit left intact, sugars are absorbed back into the seed as it dries, building depth and intensity of flavour.
The result is a cup full of fruit-forward sweetness, with notes of dried fruit and a dense, syrupy texture. This is the fourth year in a row we’ve shared this coffee with you and once again, it’s a real standout.

Mexico — Benancio Chavez
This lot is processed using a semi-washed (honey) method, where the coffee cherry is pulped but a layer of sticky mucilage is intentionally left on the parchment during drying.
After harvest, the cherries are rested intact for 24 hours, allowing the natural sugars to develop before pulping. Retaining this mucilage further enhances this lot's inherent sweetness. Drying takes place in Benancio’s solar dryer, where controlled conditions result in a cup that’s deliciously sweet and silky smooth.
