This Green Tip Geisha coffee is grown at the Mima Estate in the Boquete region of Chiriquí, Panama, at an altitude of 1850 meters. The coffee is cultivated in volcanic soil under a natural shade canopy. It undergoes a specialized cold fermentation dry natural process, involving hand-picking, pre-drying on raised beds, low-moisture dry fermentation in GrainPro sacks, and a 35-day gradual drying period in climate-controlled chambers. This meticulous process results in a high-quality, complex cup profile characteristic of the Geisha variety.
Founded in 2020 by Tong Zhang in Chengdu, this micro-specialty roastery emerged from an unexpected journey—a robotics engineer's transformation into coffee artisan after discovering specialty coffee in Paris. Zhang, who placed third in the French Brewers Cup in his first year as a barista, brings technical precision to every roast, using Stronghold S7Pro machines to highlight the unique terroir of each coffee through light profiles that express origin, climate, soil, and the people behind each bean.
