ABOUT THIS COFFEE AND PRODUCER
This SL9 lot is from Chavez Estate. Chavez estate is a family run operation that grows multiple varietals and has participated in the Peru Cup of Excellence twice. Ricardo and Virginia oversee all operations on the estate alongside their children, Raquel, Jhenrri, and Richard. Jhenrri is in charge of quality control and agricultural innovation, which he learned while working with the Inkawasi Cooperative. Together, the Chavez family manages several interconnected plots of land. There are a total of four SL9 lots from the estate. This SL9 is from Lot #2. Lot #2’s cherries are first depulped and then fermented for 30-35 hours before being washed and dried.
WHY WE SELECTED THIS COFFEE
We’re excited to share our next, and one of our favorite, SL9s of the season. This coffee marks our second lot from the incredible producer Jhenrri Chavez, whose coffees continue to stand out for their clarity, character, and precision.
The last natural lot we released from Jhenrri was spectacular in its darker stonefruits, but this washed Lot #2 offers a completely different perspective on the variety. In our view, it strikes the ideal balance with fermentation. It preserves the floral qualities and expressive citrus we love in great SL9s while introducing additional layers of fruit structure, body and sweetness.
White peach sits at the center of the cup, supported by a round orange and cantaloupe sweetness that lingers across the palate. A creamy tropical quality gives the coffee impressive body and texture without overwhelming its clarity. While it carries a bit more expressiveness than many washed SL9s we've tasted, everything feels remarkably balanced and integrated.
This is one of the most memorable SL9s we've come across this season and a coffee we think anyone interested in the variety should experience.
