Chelin Honey Sidra

Our second Sidra harvest from Enrique, eight years on since its introduction at Chelín: melon sweetness & syrupy texture.

Limited release.

Produced by Enrique in the Chelín region, this Chelin Honey Sidra represents a compelling intersection of meticulous cultivation and careful post-harvest handling. The Sidra varietal is increasingly recognized for its unique profile, often bridging the gap between the complexity of heirloom Ethiopian varieties and the structure of Bourbon-descended plants. By utilizing the honey process, which leaves a portion of the fruit’s mucilage on the bean during drying, the producer encourages a distinct sweetness and body that distinguishes this lot.

Sourced by Obadiah Coffee, this selection highlights the syrupy texture and melon sweetness characteristic of this specific harvest. When evaluating such coffees, enthusiasts often consult the flavor wheel to better articulate the nuances found in the cup. While honey-processed coffees generally offer a balance between the clarity of washed lots and the intensity of naturals, this particular offering showcases the specific potential of the Sidra varietal when handled with precision.
