La Esmeralda is undoubtedly one of the greats when it comes to Panamanian Gesha. This selection from their farm Cañas Verdes farm is a luxurious treat. Trapiche's separation lot stood out with a punchy florality, big hits of lychee, green grape and juicy tropicality. This profile is elegant with a berry-floral tonality and crispness. The cup is poignant and articulated proffering a long coffee blossom aeromatic. Overall, this coffee hits clearly with big phrases of stone fruit singing throughout. High sweetness, high acidity, medium-light body, a complex and magnanimous coffee. One of the most consistent & stunning representations of Panama Gesha you will encounter.

This Gesha was harvested on February 19th, 2025 from the Trapiche lot in Hacienda La Esmeralda’s Cañas Verdes farm. After harvest, the coffee cherries were depulped, and subsequently fermented in a low temperature room for 72 hours. This microlot coffee was slowly dried on raised beds for 26 days. 

This coffee was meticulously picked at peak ripeness. After depulping, cool fermentation was done aerobically in a stainless steel tank for 2 days. Then this coffee was dried on raised beds for 18 days. Average temperatures ranged from: Daily 19°C - 24°C Nightly: 11°C - 15°C. This coffee is conistent, clean & stable. The attention to detail and care for the crop and surrounding ecosystem really shows up in the cup here. Definitely a special coffee to share and enjoy!
