COMES OFF THE BACK OF THEIR TRIPLE CROWN WIN AT THE 2025 BEST OF PANAMA — TOPPING WASHED GEISHAGesha (Geisha)A rare, jasmine-and-bergamot scented variety originally from Ethiopia's Gesha forest, made famous by Panama's Hacienda La Esmeralda. Routinely the most expensive coffee at auction., NATURALNatural processThe whole cherry is dried with the fruit still on the seed.

NORIA 4 FB WAS HARVESTED ON FEBRUARY 22ND, 2025 FROM THE NORIA LOT AT ESMERALDA’S JARAMILLO FARM — ONE OF THE ORIGINAL SITES WHERE GEISHA WAS FIRST PLANTED IN PANAMA. AFTER DEPULPING, THE COFFEE WAS FERMENTED FOR 72 HOURS IN A LOW-TEMP ROOM, THEN SLOWLY DRIED OVER 22 DAYS ON RAISED BEDS. THE PROCESS BRINGS OUT DELICATE LAYERS OF JASMINE, STONE FRUIT, AND A RICH THREAD OF BROWN SUGAR. A STANDOUT COFFEE FROM A FARM THAT CONTINUES TO SHAPE THE FUTURE OF GEISHA.
